Day 21 - descending fixed lines and 14K camp

In the morning, we had breakfast and packed. The packs got even heavier (as always). On descent, despite having done it before, my crampons got loose and came off. So, I had to stop on the rope and adjust them. The 14K camp welcomed us by having free food that the commercial team was giving away - they were leaving without summiting (gave up on Zebra rocks). One of the three concerns (descending fixed rope with heavy packs) is now off the list. Tomorrow, we'll be tackling Windy Corner and Squirrel Hill. We'll be picking up the second cached sled at the 11K camp, and then it will be a worry-free walk to the Base. Read more details by Vera   here .
