Thank you for getting back to me. Glad to understand why they named this mountain like this. I can imagine it is very difficult. It's really a huge ascent and I guess that the air is changing quickly as well. Didn't you face any illness? I can't imagine that a body can adjust to it so quickly.
This is what I love about the Alps - you feel safe there. Going to Himalaya is testing you mental and physical limits and I know I would panic with the first issue so it's not for me :)
My body has been use to high altitude. This year I have already been completed two 6000 meter plus mountain peaks in Trans Himalaya. On every 1000 m the air changed into thin. Its upto us how we trained our body for such conditions.
We don't have much choice over here like alps. Everything is so expensive, like snow shoes, ice-axe, crampons, sleeping bag etc. We have to manage in what we have only.
But Himalaya need that type of facilities so that everyone can feel safe here. I hope one day everyone feel safe here after updating all the necessary facilities. Take care.
