Himlung Expedition - Day 15

THE day has come… SUMMIT PUSH!!!

Unfortunately, only 7 out of 10 were able to start on the summit push, as 3 did not feel well and healthy enough.

How does it work?!
BC to Camp 1 (1 night rest), early morning to Camp 2, rest in Camp 2 and start for summit at 10 p.m. through the night.
Sounds like insane hard work?! YES IT IS!

Before we started at BC, we needed to pack our backpack again:
Sleeping bag, harness, snacks, dry food, extra layers, etc. (~12kg).
A little lighter as at the first rotation as we deposited some things in Camp 1 and 2.

I didn’t feel good that day and wasn’t sure if I can make it to Camp 1. Not sure why. But it got better as we reached ~5.200m and it got cooler. Maybe to much oxygen in the lower part 🤣
We reached Camp 1, ate our packed lunch, arranged our tents, rested, had a lot of fun, got soup and slept (tried to sleep).

And no, these sherpas are not gay. In Nepal it’s normal that very good friends of the same sex hold hands or cuddle.Read more
