To not quite the top

After a restless night the group of us decided to not go further up from base camp. My knee was painful and the other two just didn’t feel good. The weather was also forecast to be cold and very very windy.
That’s is the way in the mountains. We had seen a few people we met along the way have to be rescued by Sherpas with altitude sickness and didn’t want to join them.
So Maree and I put on the snow boots and crampons and headed up in the snow onto Mera for a short walk then would return down to Khare again for the night.
I ended up just doing a short walk with Shepa Tendi and we had fun taking photos and videos.
Maree walked a bit further up with Sandesh and got some nice views.
We had a yummy lunch at our camp then walked back down for the night. On the way, I slipped on the trail and landed on my bottom, luckily I only cut my hand a little bit. It was very steep in some parts.
ALLE and I had the same room at the Mera Alpine and had a lovely cosy sleep after the yummy hash brown with yak cheese.Read more
