Day 18. 26.9.07. Avalanche & walk to Rapui La, 6400 m., 21,000 ft.

Just after breakfast all the snow fell off Changtse. This was a big avalanche - as they say, "you had to be there". The photos don't do it justice.


These guys at the next camp were literally running for their lives - and were OK.


Then it was on with the crampons and into the glacier.
