The
trail from
Deboche to Dingoche is up and down, with a net gain of 2000 feet. Like
before, most of the gain is in the final
section,
climbing out of the river bottom to Dingboche. This
morning was pretty cold, but I dress lightly for the trail,
and
wound up hiking pretty fast to keep warm.
After
lunch I could feel that I was coming
down with something: my throat was hurting, by lungs were filling up
with crud,
and my energy was draining out.
The
change was so sudden: I was hiking easily at the front of the pack in the morning, and
then I
was struggling just to keep up. |
