Day 10 - Views from the Top     Nice, but you wouldn't want to live here

The combination of fatigue and headache make the experience of summiting at Thorung La a strange mixture of emotions.

That alpine moonscape common to all high mountain ranges is everywhere. But losing the throbbing headache would be really nice. Hey, which way is down?
