2007-05-23 Wednesday Everest Base Camp altitude 5300m

A lousy night, last night. My mattress was only partially inflated so I was sleeping on rock above ice to an extent. My arrangements for a piss bottle did not work out too well. Ian was up and down and the ambient nosie level was high. The team summitted seven people from the team and 10 Sherpas at around 07:30 this morning. I seem to have some reaction to altitude - the smallest exertion is making me massively breathless and I am very lethargic. It took me 10 minutes to put on one sandal. The day time temperature reached 32oC today.
