The nature is varied and beautiful. The hardest was the Amhu Lapcha Pass. We had the crampons put on and our guide Ashok led us on the short rope. He know the way very well and led us safely u. This year the conditions were difficult. At the top we had to climb in the snow. The ropes were frozen under the snow. But our guide Ashok led us very good through the difficult parts. The two porters carried the big luggage (tent, food …). They did it very well.
My name is Esther and I am from Switzerland and climbed the Mera Peak – 6470m.
Mera Peak was technically not a difficult mountain. I walked with the crampons on the short rope. My challenge was the breathing, and at the end I had to go very slowly. My guide was very considerate of me and led me safely on the top. When we reached the summit, there was fog and it started to snow. For to go back very bad condition. But my guide Ashok led me safely back to the Highcamp and then to Kathmandu.
