Trek Day 6

3700m, Machhapuchhre base camp (MBC).
Only 3 hours today 500m more to acclimatize too. We started at 8.30 and crossed a small glassier and eventually the snow line. Initially the snow made it easier, leveling the trail and had plenty of grip. But as the sun hit it and the trail got steeper it became very slippy, Often climbing 45° on pack ice.
Spent the rest of the day eating and playing cards and chess in the dining hall. Roberto and I had an epic match that resulted in a draw. Seeing as chess is apparently a sport we’re considering this altitude training. For dinner I had Dal Baat (Nepali Thali) and upon asking for a knife and fork I recived 4 knives, trying to explain only resulted in me getting 4 forks as well. Tomorrow the final push to ABC.
