WE LEFT HIGH CAMP AT 3AM AND FOUND THE SCRAMBLE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. ON REACHING THE ICE FIELD DAY LIGHT APPEARED QUICKLY THOUGH WE NEVER SAW THE SUN ACTUALLY RISE DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS.

THE THREE OF US WITH THREE SHERPAS MADE EXCELLENT PROGRESS UP THE STEEP ICE SLOPE TO THE SUMMIT RIDGE DUE TO OUR HIGH LEVEL OF SUPPORT.

WE THEN MET A SCOTTISH COUPLE ON THEIR WAY DOWN FROM THE SUMMIT. THE RIDGE WAS EXHILERATING AS WAS THE PEAK AND THE VIEWS TRULY AWESOME.
