EBC: Descent!

May 1, 2010 | Nepal

Towards Pheriche

Descending towards Pheriche

Descending in one day what took us three to climb, we re-cross 3 small bridges, 2 large glaciers, and 1 rockslide until we are skipping over stones on the broad and windy plain of Pheriche. At 14,000 ft., breathing comes easily now, appetites have returned, and sleep is solid. Back in a habitable, if not quite hospitable, landscape.
