EBC Day 10

PLAN: Chola Pass (elevation 5335 metres) and Dzongla (4843 metres); walk approximately 6-7 hours.

Another early start to take advantage of the stable early morning weather pattern in the Himalyas. It takes about 3-4 hours depending on the weather conditions to reach the saddle of the Pass. They'll have time on the trip here to stop and take everything in. The guide sees this point as a special highlight of the trip with the peaks rising above them.
"Words fail to describe the beauty of Nature and sense of achievement to be on the Pass"

Beautiful and challenging. Climb up a rocky, snow filled gully to the top of a young glacier. Toblerone for courage. Me carrying 10kg, porter with 50kg, I felt a real hero!
