Altitude: 6500m
Atmospheric Pressure: 480mbar
Trek:0km
I slept OK, considering the new altitude and the exhausting
day.
The new hight means I’m back into peeing a lot, so I need to
be careful not to get dehydrated.
I’m still coughing, and my rib is still killing, but the
next few days of rest should help.
I had decided to sleep in my down suit, but soon realize
that I was way too hot in both the down suit and the new sleeping bag…. Not
good for dehydration.
There’s lots of wind all day, coming in gusts which you can
hear coming down the valley like an avalanche, I wouldn’t fancy being up there
today.
Although we’re only 500m above Lobuche, the signs of
altitude starts to show amongst the group, with Karl down to 51% oxygen
saturation, which is very low.
I start the day on 68% but recover to 72 by the end of the
day, I’m lucky to have a body which adapts well to altitude.
