A typical day in kathmandu, wake up around 5, wonder where you are, then realize that you are in a room surrounded by a mountain of gear, laid out on the floor, the beds, but were too tired to sort last night, at 7, go to yoga, namaste is the greeting for everything, except at the end of yoga. Then there is breakfast, which consists of hot chocolate and eggs, where we discuss once again, climbing strategies and tell climbing stories. Today Cam recounted breaking his ankle a few months ago. This takes quite a long time. Yesterday, we had a meeting with Elizabeth Hawley, a famous documentarian of Himalayan climbs, who knows all the mountains, has met the great climbers, but does not climb them herself. She said, be sure to enjoy yourself, what does it really matter if you get to the top...That was followed by a long meeting with the Asian trekking company, who discussed our weight limits. They are the ones who will accompany us to base camp. Mark and I are so overweighted with everything we decided we would need that we are not even close to the weight limits (35 kg)...we will be sorting all day to figure out exactly who has the most. Then we talk about climbing strategies some more and discuss other mountains. I will introduce some of the team here.
