Wow! An amazing set of photos: every one is top quality. Thanks for posting.

Composition could be better, but I like the juxtaposition of the wild and savage scale of Lhotse with the procession of punters up the fixed ropes. It's not making me want to be there!

Thank you for sharing your pictures. They are truely insiprational and emotive. I think anybody who shows the fortitude, courage and endurance to get up day after day and exert themselves on this mountain with all the hardhsips it brings, deserves credit and not to be labelled a punter.
