Feeling better!

Forced myself to get up. Decided to try for Imja Tse base camp. I knew the team would have started for the summit during the night, but was keen to be with them again. Trekked to base camp and got there about midday – up another 800m to 5500m. When I arrived, met two of our guys who had had to abort their attempt. Greeted the others around 2:30pm. They had nearly got to the summit – but on a precarious ridge, were beaten back by hugely strong wind gusts.

Had a special dinner that night. Roast chicken, peas, roast potatoes – and chocolate cake! Feeling so much better, and am back with the team. On to the next mountain.
