In reply to UKC News:
Good grief. Slogging up those fixed ropes among all those crowds looks grim.
If that is doing trekking peaks in Khumbu then you can forget it. Naively, perhaps, I had no idea it was like that.

In reply to amf37:

Yes, Island Peak can be a bit ridiculous. We counted up to 70 people going up the same day than us. Thankfully, the other peaks, with perhaps the exception of Mera, are much less crowded - we saw one other climber on Pokalde and two on Lobuje East.

In reply to Alex Buisse:
GREAT diary & pics! Having done the 3 x peaks it brought back memories both good & bad!
