7th April

Alex, Tom, Ang Dorge and Dhana on the summit of Mera Peak at 7.30am on Friday 6th April. An amazing time to the summit from high camp of just 4 hours with trail breaking required all the way in the deep fresh snow. Beautiful clear weather with light winds but very cold air temperatures. Well done guys – you did us proud!
