I slept poorly that night, sinuses filling constantly with bloody discharge, and cough triggering whenever I rolled from side to side (I am strictly a side sleeper).\u00a0 <\/span>Plus, my ribcage hurt like crazy whenever I coughed or rolled over\u2026 in summary, not a great night.\u00a0 <\/span>BUT, the comforts of Camp 2 were alluring (meal tent, toilet tent), so I was motivated to get crackin\u2019 early.<\/p>\n

I kept my pledge from yesterday to cover the rear vestibule floor with fresh snow\u2026 it will melt, of course, revealing the bloody mosaic in a creepy process in the coming days, but at least I\u2019m trying to do the right thing.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, the move from Camp 1 to 2 involves climbing some \u201croller\u201d faces, then walking gradually uphill in the middle of the great western cwm.\u00a0 <\/span>It is not a \u201ctough\u201d day by most any standard (though we do end at 21,300 feet), and yet I very much wanted to be kind to my mucus membranes by avoiding coughing if at all possible.\u00a0 <\/span>My motto for the day was \u201ceasy does it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who know me understand this already, but for those whom I don\u2019t know as well: Paul doesn\u2019t do \u201cslow.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>I have one speed on my feet, which most folks think is fast (I think you are in my way, please move over, thank you very much).\u00a0 <\/span>I can count on one gnarled hand the number of times I have been passed on foot in daily life (not counting people running by).\u00a0 <\/span>Julie says that if there\u2019s a hell, and if I\u2019m headed there (doubtlessly yes), mine will be a perpetual sidewalk with a person-of-size walking her little dog in front of me, and no way to get by.\u00a0 <\/span>(Yes, my wife gets me.)<\/p>\n

So, this was a challenging day.\u00a0 <\/span>I got through it by walking intentionally, very very slowly, almost as a physiological experiment.\u00a0 <\/span>How slowly can I go without my body thinking we are stopped and thus triggering a coughing fit?\u00a0 <\/span>My guide and mentor and savior was the lovely and super strong, super talented Emily Johnston.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cYou\u2019re going too fast.\u00a0 <\/span>You\u2019re a rabbit chasing the carrot.\u00a0 <\/span>Stop it.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>I put Pasang Kami in front.\u00a0 <\/span>Then I went in front.\u00a0 <\/span>When that did not satisfy her, she put herself in front and reduced pace to one step every three seconds.\u00a0 <\/span>Period.\u00a0 <\/span>No wiggle room upwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow\u2019s the pace?\u201d she would ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could go a little faster, that would be fine with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u00a0 <\/span>No I will not.\u00a0 <\/span>This is not a race.\u00a0 <\/span>I can slow down though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t, this is fine Emily.\u201d<\/p>\n

And on and on.\u00a0 <\/span>The wind hit us at one point beyond Nuptse Corner, and I needed to stop in order to put on a layer.\u00a0 <\/span>I watched with melancholy as the pod of teammates just ahead of us walked majestically away into the ground blizzard.\u00a0 <\/span>I would not see them again until we reached camp.\u00a0 <\/span>The distance between camps is just under two miles as the crow flies (yes, there are crows up there), but longer considering the maneuvering we make around crevasses.\u00a0 <\/span>Time ticked by so painfully.\u00a0 <\/span>But, I must admit that my lungs felt better than I had thought possible.<\/p>\n

When we reached the base of Camp 2, and the terrain pitched up a bit steeper, the sun finally began to show itself, and it was necessary to drop layers and settle in for a grinding cap to the day.\u00a0 <\/span>IMG Camp 2 is situated at the top of the moraine, and it literally took us over an hour to make it there from the time we passed the bottommost tent\u2014which is crazy long.\u00a0 <\/span>Emily stuck with me every step of the way, as did Pasang Kami.\u00a0 <\/span>I felt so badly for this elite Sherpa athlete that eventually we implored him to bolt ahead and get to camp.\u00a0 <\/span>He did so\u2026 but backtracked a short time later with a thermos of hot tea, and insisted on carrying my backpack into camp.\u00a0 <\/span>I was so ground down that I happily acquiesced.\u00a0 <\/span>We have been through tough times before, meaning the quake last year, and I would like to think that our history informs part of his generosity with me.\u00a0 <\/span>On the other hand, that is the Sherpa ethos, and I suspect he would work this hard for whichever climber was assigned to him.\u00a0 <\/span>Either way, I was very impressed with Pasang Kami and am super grateful.<\/p>\n

This was not the way I wanted to pull into Camp 2, but our goal had been slow and steady, and we accomplished that.\u00a0 <\/span>Again, I must emphasize the incredible guidance from Emily Johnston.\u00a0 <\/span>There are very few guides in the world who would have the patience, gumption, moxie, and dedication to stick with a sick climber the way she did, literally pacing every step, hour after hour, above 20,000 feet.\u00a0 <\/span>Typical of IMG to have someone of this caliber on the payroll.\u00a0 <\/span>Exceptional among guides the world around.<\/p>\n

The prospect of heading up to Camp 3 the next morning was serious for me, because I felt quite exhausted.\u00a0 <\/span>However, I was not alone in feeling poorly that day, and IMG being climber-focused allowed us to expand the rotation by a day before moving to Camp 3.\u00a0 <\/span>Some guiding outfits would not give a damn whether everyone in the party was ready to go.\u00a0 <\/span>But our goal is universal safety and success, and so a rest day was added.\u00a0 <\/span>As I settled in for the night, I thought for the umpteenth time, Thank goodness I chose IMG.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure what happened to me that night\u2014perhaps exhaustion simply overwhelmed me.\u00a0 <\/span>Somehow I slept very, very soundly.\u00a0 <\/span>In fact, this was the first time I could recall sleeping longer that 45 minutes at a stretch in over a week.\u00a0 <\/span>I awoke feeling refreshed and restored\u2014I had literally forgotten what that felt like.<\/p>\n

This made me very optimistic for the possibility of improving during rest day.\u00a0 <\/span>The agenda: Eat, drink, rest, pack.<\/p>\n

We watched streams of climbers head up the Lhotse face towards Camp 3.\u00a0 <\/span>I was stunned to see the route they took: Rather than sticking to the smooth left-hand portion of the face, they went up over bulges of blue ice to the right.\u00a0 <\/span>My heart sank when I saw this, because it looked so exhausting and time-consuming.\u00a0 <\/span>On the open slope, one could hope to develop a rhythm and grind out a huge staircase.\u00a0 <\/span>BUT, the open slope is also exposed to avvy and rockfall risk\u2026 thus, the safe but painful option of going right.\u00a0 <\/span>Knowing that we would sleep at Camp 3\u201423,700 feet\u2014without supplementary O2 was equally daunting.<\/p>\n

Girding up the loins in my mind, I settled in for a few hours of sleep after dinner.\u00a0 <\/span>I have waited my entire life to climb Everest.\u00a0 <\/span>After the icefall, no terrain feature has dominated my imagination more than the Lhotse Face.\u00a0 <\/span>My cough and sinus discharge were down a bit.\u00a0 <\/span>Enough to get me safely up and back?\u00a0 <\/span>The morning would tell.<\/p>\n
