We did it, 5985m!!!!!!!!!!

Woah, well we made it, 5895m. I think one of the hardest things both Jo and I have done on this trip. Just when you think you can see the top....its not!!!

Jo thought her legs were going to pack in at one point....well until I said you have legs like elephants they wont stop working. Te he, she soon got moving. :-)

I also had a meltdown near the top, well actually two if you count before then at 4600m when we saw a guy flat out. But near the top at about 5300m. I was asked if I wanted to go down? No. Do you want to go up? No. However I was dragged (by the guide), pushed (by Jo) and pulled (by the group) up to the summit. So happy to have made it!

We would like to put the sponsorship plea out there again. Please sponsor us, we made it up and it was very very hard!!!! www.justgiving.com/charlieandjo

So a couple of days to relax then off to the village, then home!!

Charlie and Jo (no legs or knees left) xx
