In my own mind I'm thinking about an hour or so then a spot of tea and a coconut, then the chair lift down? :) Cid GDave,

They are now stuck up on the mountain waiting out bad weather. Ugh! Thanks for the comment about my photo. I appreciate it! I think I must have taken 25 shots from the summit that day. I had a hard time choosing which one to use. I'm better at taking photos of scenery than I am food. :-) Shirley,

Your photo blows me away per usual! I enjoyed the video, too. I could see following that daily. That ladder over the crevice shot ... yikes.

And now I have this imagine of you hiking above treeline with GDave behind you carrying your bag and making Monty Python clip-clop sounds with the coconuts. I'm not sure how Amazon Women on the Moon fits into all this, but when you two get going, it takes no time before I'm laughing out loud. :-) Cid,

And how's my favorite Henry? Lots of people have issues with altitude. You'll just have to come out here and give yourself some time to acclimate. I can help you with the right fluids and food! :-) Liz,

I'll probably come back with a child's shoe, an inside-out umbrella and a damp copy of Razzle and expect you to cook me up a banquette! I'll do the Sherpa thing by all means, as long as I can have 2 halves of coconut shell to knock together so I can pretend I'm on horseback. :) GDave PS. H2O joke stolen from the 80s American spoof movie 'Amazon Women on the Moon.' :) Cid,

It's just that we have to keep costs down and you might be cheaper than the internationally renowned experts we usual 'hang' with :) Also are you sherpa material because it's my guess that Melissa and I will be carrying a lot of coconuts :) Cid GDave,

I had no idea that there is no less oxygen at high altitude, but that the molecules scatter in more air. Unfortunately, I'm super sensitive to high altitude and headaches abound. I think I just need more trips to Colorado get more used to it. :) Wow. I had no idea that there is no less oxygen at high altitude, but that the molecules scatter in more air.

The past two years, they sent daily audio dispatches, this year we've been treated to artistic video with music. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. You better be careful, my friend -- you don't want to be breathing in H20. Choke, gargle, spit. You want 02. I'm sure you knew that, I'm guessing you were just taken with the footage. ;-) Melissa Yes, this expedition posting has been so amazing.

I'm much better off on a train or on foot. I do love it here, especially on days like today. Clear, cool and sunny. It's just beautiful. But I have to say, I've been equally impressed with the British countryside. Although quite different, it's beautiful in its own right. Cid,
