Here Comes the Sun

After patching up my gashed finger, we arrived at Camp I - I was knackered. I got out of my wet gear and straight into the tent. I had a semi-conscience conversation with Bridgette and then Alistair, before drifting off...

After 2 hours of sleep we got up, back into our wet gear and began to ram food down our necks (cold rice pudding - yum!).

By 11:30 we were off again. The momentary tension felt at the start ceased as I quickly got into the rhythm. We had reached the bottom of Aldo's at 14:24, it was here that Tom and Dick left Alistair and I to prevent a traffic jam on the ropes!

It was not until 15:45 that Alistair and I pulled ourselves out of the chasm, unshaven, bloodied, sweaty, with dark rings around our eyes and filthy. We have had a great time :)
