Big sigh of relief. After yesterday I thought this mountain might get the better of me. The books consider today's hike to be harder still. In fact it went well. Lots of altitude gain but not so steep. Did really well. Set my own pace which was good. The sun has come out in camp but it was very cloudy and cold most of the day. Gorgeous scenery most of the way!
Tomorrow is a HUGE day. It starts with the Barranco wall - very steep with scrambling - then quite a bit of distance and altitude gain. Tomorrow night we head for the summit very late in the evening.
Feeling much better - no symptoms of AMS. Must be the Diamox. Also my throat not gotten worse - THANK YOU GOD.
