Peire, Joshua, very sorry you both got sick. Wish you both a very speedy recovery. Who knows what's coming next, crazy world we live in.
(i) Two women performing a circumambulation around the giant chorten at Drak Yerpa, and (ii) the unbearable lightness of being at 4600m near the western town of Saga, West Tibet. Trees are left behind out here, none for a thousand kilometres or more. The spirit runs free of the Earth. FE55, both.

You are a brave man to walk down all these steps in such condition (even if the they were cleared) to get these beautiful shots, Steve!
Thanks Douglas. Having done the descent in the winter for many years, I knew what I was in for and it was as bad as I anticipated. 6 inches of ice on every step X God knows how many steps. I don't own a pair of crampons but wish I did! It's always worth it though. Hope you're doing well! Steve
