A 60 second exposure of camp 2 with the Lhotse face in the background and main summit of Everest on the left.

I thought I had missed the Apenglow shot as I hung out waiting on a frosty Kala Patar. Ominous clouds tried to close of the shot all afternoon but perseverance prevailed and I managed to get this snap.

I waited until 6:00 pm for some alpenglow on the summit...bloody freezing.

Alpenglow on the Lhotse face.

There can be traffic jams in the icefall. It is often easier although not necessarily safer to abseil down rather than wait for the ladder to be free.
