Photo outside an abandoned shepherds lodge.... Its too cold even for the Sherpa shepherds apparently!
The landscape at the top of the world........
A memorial to Babu Chiri Sherpa, who climbed Everest 10 times. Three of the summit climbs were in the space of two weeks and he once stayed at the summit for a record 21 hours. He formerly held the record for time taken to summit - 16 hours 56minutes in 80 mph winds (Hurricane force). None of his climbs were carried out with supplementary oxygen. He died after slipping into a crevasse in the Western Cwm above Base Camp in 2001 attempting to climb for the 11th time.He left behind a legacy of building schools and communities with the money he raised.
The memorial site for all the others who perished on the mountain..... a very sombre place.
