I had the worst night's sleep, after going to bed about 7:00pm, I woke up at 11:00pm. I would doze then have to take a big inhale as I felt I couldn't get a breath. We got up just after 3:30am and it was freezing, We quickly got changed and headed down to the Teahouse. Justin, Ross, Ryls, Vinod and me were climbing, the girls decided not to climb. We saw the Koreans having some hot tea before they set off.
Left just after 4:00am for climb to Kala Pattar. Pitch dark with everyone wearing headlamps, the climb was initially steady but it soon got steeper, it was a very slow pace and I was still tired from a lack of sleep and the big day on the previous day. We got to the first plateau and I told Pinbar that I was going to wait here for the sunrise, he told me I would freeze and I should either keep going or head back down so I decided to keep going, not much further up, I was getting tired so I told the group to keep going and I would join the Koreans. I waited for them. I waited for them but the pace was really slow, they would walk for ten minutes then wait for the slow people in their group, I told them we should keep going as it was getting really cold
