:10:07
That altitude, you dehydrate enormously.
:10:11
You have to drink a lot
of fluid, 4-5 liters a day.
:10:14
And the only way you can
get it, is by melting snow.
:10:19
Everything is so time-consuming.
:10:21
To make a single brew at that
altitude takes a very long time,
:10:25
You're perhaps looking at an hour
just to make a couple of cups.
:10:29
For that reason, we perhaps didn't
brew up as much as we should have done
:10:32
but we didn't have an awful lot
of spare gas with us, either.
:10:47
There's not a lot of risk
in our lives normally now.
:10:54
And to put an element of risk back
into it takes us out of the humdrum.
:11:01
In that sense, it makes
you feel more alive.
:11:11
I've never been that
high before, and it's
:11:13
very very strenuous
to climb ice like that.
:11:21
Not only is it technically difficult
and unstable and frightening,
:11:23
but your heart is going like
crazy because of the altitude.
