Brewing up at Camp 1.

I get a brew on and wait for Dave. And wait. And wait. Dave finally gets in after what is close to a seven or eight-hour push from Base Camp and he’s wiped out. For whatever reason his acclimatisation just hasn’t worked today and he’s a mess. I get him into the tent, get his boots off and give him water as I brew him a drink. The physical toll has affected him emotionally too. Dave doesn’t want to fail on a mountain again and I don’t want him too either. He’s a lovely bloke who deserves this success he’s worked so hard for. Dave tells me he feels like turning back tomorrow. “Don’t,” I say. “The best part of this so far has been the traverse over to Camp 2. At least do that, you know you can.” “Ok,” he replies. His heart’s not in it though and he knows he has a big decision to make tomorrow morning.
