Look, you wouldn't see it back home anyway.

Yeah, that's right.

So look, we came in and your sleep, so every base camp is at 5,400 metres.

So we were here.

for two weeks before we decided that we're actually deteriorating a bit your rest and heart rate up here is probably about 90 to 100 beats per minute so you can imagine how many calories you burn and trying to eat up here is very difficult so we kind of made the decision just to walk down to the team because we knew the ice floor wouldn't be open for a few more weeks so like that yeah go down get a shower get get a proper toilet and stuff like that and uh yeah we we helicoptered back up then once we heard the ice floor was open we just wanted to get away from the negativity because

When you're sitting here, all you're thinking about is when the ice wasn't open and everyone's talking when the ice wasn't open.

So look, we got away for five or six days and then it came back up and we had our rotations and they went very successful anyway.

So next time we go up, it's going to be our summer push.

Exactly, yeah.

So it's just basically trying to build their hemoglobin and stuff like that.

So what we did, we went up to camp two.

Our initial plan was to go up to camp one back then, up to camp two back then, up to camp three back then, and then go for summer push.

But look, time kind of didn't allow that.

So we went over and we did a piece called Lubuchet, which stands for 6-1-1-9.

So we went up there.

And then we maybe stayed up there for half an hour.

It wasn't the warmest thing ever.

So we kind of headed back down.

And then recently went up to camp two.

So we went through the ice wall, the most dangerous section.
