Up and Down 1/10

We summited at about 8.00am Nepalese time!

I found it much harder than Everest, where I used oxygen. Apart from the physical side of it, I have felt really cold.
My fingers gave me trouble and I was shivering from the cold, so we wasted no time at the top.
I did not phone Dad or take too many photos, as I did not want to take my gloves off.

I am more satisfied with this climb than Everest.

We are safely down to C3, and are heading down today to C2 at 7000m.
Tomorrow we should make it back to ABC.

Regards,
Blair
