Got up very early to watch the sunrise. Which was no problem since I had cold feet all night and couldn't sleep in the freezer-room we slept in (no heating at 20*F...). Even though I kept all clothes on. After breakfast we started our way back down. Another day under blue skies.
Just as with "Nemo" a couple of months earlier in Australia the search for "Yeti" requires patience
. A lot of patience... ;) The hike back down from 12,390ft to Sinuwa Guesthouse at 7,020ft was pure torture for my knees and ankles. Because for almost the entire time of 7 hours we were hiking downhill. If I finish this trek without breaking a bone or the need of knee surgery I will be just as happy as about the pictures I suffered for ;)
Standen sehr frueh auf, um den Sonnenaufgang zu sehen. Was kein Problem war, da ich sowieso die ganze Nacht kalte Fuesse hatte und nicht schlafen konnte, in dem Kuehltruhe-Raum (Keine Heizung bei -7*C ). Obwohl ich sogar voll angezogen geschlafen hatte. Nach dem Fruehstueck machten wir uns auf den Weg zum Abstieg. Und wieder ein Tag unter strahlend blauen Himmel.
Wie mit "Nemo" vor ein paar Monaten in Australien erfordert die Suche nach "Yeti" eine Menge Geduld... ;) Die Wanderung zurrueck aus 4130m Hoehe zum Sinuwa Gasthaus auf 2340m war die reine Folter fuer meine Knie und Knoechel, weil wir fast 7 Stunden nur bergab wanderten. Wenn ich diesen Trek ohne Knochenbruch oder Knieoperation ueberstehe, werde ich genauso gluecklich sein, wie ueber die Photos fuer die ich das ertragen habe ;)
