22.- Annapurna Circuit, Phedi to La Pass

Today we woke up at 5 am, the weather was perfect, so we will try to get to La Pass. There’s a lot of snow, not much oxygen, so every step is a big effort. But all our efforts will be rewarded if we get to La Pass (our summit). We left Phedi (=Foot of the Hill) before six o’clock, it will take us at least four hours to climb to La Pass, and then we’ll have to descent to Muktinath. This means that we’ll have to climb up more than 1000 meters-3,300 ft (La Pass is at 5416m-17,800 ft) and then descent more than 1600 meters (5,250 ft).
