Manaslu Trek - Final Push Through Larke Pass
"Yesterday, we woke up at 3am to a warm enough tent though the wind howled, and the outer tent was frozen hard over. Thankfully, we had kept our boots inside, otherwise they'd certainly have frozen over and putting our feet into frozen blocks would've lowered our already low mood. My nerves had me up at 2am and I could feel the gurgle in my belly which foretold my doom."
"Step after painful step, we made it to the top of the pass where hugs from the rest of the group reduced me to the tears that had been threatening for a while. I tried my best to recover at our 5,100m (16,700ft) but each breath was a struggle in that hostile yet beautiful environment."
