On a beautiful morning, I don't know how we did it, but we happened to score the most sensational morning thus far. We awoke early to stars and no cloud. The slower members of the team set out at 5.30am at minus 13. The rest of us set out at 6am. We arrived on top of Kalar Patar at around 8.30am. Not a cloud in sight and no wind. Brilliant. The last member of the team arrived a little while later. It was a terrific time. Lots of photos and several pats on the back. We are now back down at Ghorak Shep having breakfast and ready to pack our kit bags for our decent down to Perishe (4,200m). Been a fantastic morning. One of the best I've had in a while. |
