Leaving Mera La...
29 Oct, 08 - 04:19
The sun just came over the peak opposite the valley from us...which is quite spectacular at 17500ft! B^)
Phill Michael at Mera La (17500ft/5300m) with Mera Central (6476m/21241ft) in the background
The kitchen boys are priming the stoves for breakfast and I'm looking forward to some tea.
The air is so crisp and clean, up here at Mera La, that I could tear a strip off it and enjoy an even more nutritious breakfast by mixing it in with my egg burrito. =^P
We are going to move up to Mera's High Camp(19000ft/5800m) this morning...then look for a spectacular summit window to jump through.
I'm going to take the BGAN and Ipaq up to High Camp...so I'll do a dispatch from there.
I hope you are virtually enjoying climbing in the Himalayas with us via the dispatches at www.secretspoteverest.com and/or my blog!?
If you have not subscribed...you should...right now. I invite you. =^)
Until Soon
