The next two days were spent climbing another 500m to 3500m and then acclimatising for one day in the sub-alpine area (come to think of it, it's probably alpine!) known to us as Italian base-camp.

| Hard to photograph, as you normally hear them before you see them. There are sections of the trek further up that are exposed to avalanches, but we had no trouble, as there was very little snow around. Near Italian Base Camp |  |
After resting for a day, it was time to press onwards and upwards. The next few days, we'd be travelling along the Chhonbarang Glacier, past Base Camp and towards French Col and Hidden Valley.
