We got a late start up the Lhotse Face after spending over an hour with Jim. The climb up the fixed ropes to Camp 3 was grueling because we were all wearing down suits and it became EXTREMELY HOT. I was the last to head up and the last to reach camp, totally exhausted. In fact, it was the most worn out I have ever been EVER!!! (in my life). The heat, combined with the altitude, really affected me. I'm not sure who this is in the photo. [Photo by Shinji Tamura]
