| The West face was too vertical for us to climb... |
 |
| This is the face we climbed |
 |
| we avoided the crevasses |
 |
| the slope got stiffer |
 |
| Great view when we arrived to the last camp |
 |
| behind me the Makalu: 8476m, 27790'Add caption |

| the porters picked up the snow to cook the diner |
 |
| and carry it to the tents |
 |
| this one is on the rocks |
 |
| others are on the snow |
 |
| The next morning ready for the climb to the crest at 6200m, 20341' |
 |
| The next day,we used a "jumar" to help us climbing with the rope |
 |
| It was a very spectacular |
 |
| and very long hike |
 |
| The amount of icy snow was impressive! |
 |
| We gathered at the pass to rappel it down with all the equipment... |
 |
| down this long and vertical slope. It took us 6 hours! |
 |
| and led us back to the valley with a view to the Everest, the Lhotse and the Nuptse from which we trekked down 3 days down to Lukla |
