The weather forecast was for very strong winds - 90 to 100 kph - and possible snow over the next few days so reluctantly we decided to get off the mountain and back to Basecamp.
Here, Nick outside our mess tent as we are leaving.
At the end of the East Rongbuk glacier is a pass called the Rapui La and beyond that is Makalu, 5th highest mountain in the world at 8.481 m.
Back at basecamp Everest looking very benign in the evening light with the 'yellow ban' clearly visible.
