Long day today, 1000m elevation and 1000m descent. This is probably the closest I’ve been to simulating summit day. Obviously, I’ll have all the elements to battle up there, residual fatigue, lack of sleep, headaches, lack of recovery, losing energy to the freezing temperatures, struggling to move without oxygen, crazy emotions and, feeling dirty without a shower or change of clothes for days or weeks!
