Up at 10 am to a beautiful sunny morning for the routine melting an boiling and then a hot breakfast - very welcome after waking with the bag covered in ice and frost. But both our bags were in goretex bivvy bags so no problem. I've no idea what the temperature goes down to but I'm plenty warm enough in my bag in just underwear.
Talking of underwear, it'll be clean stuff tomorrow!
We hope to be up early tomorrow for a day of hard graft, as today was nothing but reading, dossing around, laying in the sunshine and eating.
The 'Climbing for Christ' crew arrived early afternoon and one of them, Kevin, had all the symptoms of HAPE, so he descended - the end of all his hopes.
Steve, the national geographic photographer, in the next door camp, has done our target route for tomorrow and says crampons should be excellent, with very little deep stuff. Going to be a hard day I fear.....enough of that, today has been a real holiday.
