Up at 5.30 this morning for an early start. Slept reasonably well. No sun this morning, very overcast and cold with frost. ll hours walking today. If I thought yesterday was tough I don't know how to describe today. I just had no power in my legs and was soon lagging behind. Alain, one of the guides walked right in front of me setting a regular pace that I could manage. I couldn't have done it without him. We had lunch at the highest point today at Lava Tower where many were feeling the altitude, then dropped down to 15,000ft to camp. Jess and Bryson told us tonight that on their observations over the past two days there is no reason why we shouldn't all make it to the summit. I really don't know how I will after the last two days!! It was Dan's 50th birthday today and the cook made a birthday cake for him - amazing up here in the wild... ( A couple of quite poorly people tonight!!).
