Mount Everest fascinates nearly everyone; it must be the best known mountain in the world. Coming close to this giant is an amazing experience, and inevitably imposes respect.
All the way, my eyes were just fixed on the white summit of the legendary mountain, and I could feel my fascination materialising as we drove on, as if Everest put a spell on me. After leaving our stuff in the yak-hair tent settlement, I quickly walked towards the actual EBC. Using a shortcut, I found myself on a ridge above Base Camp, with particular good views over Rongphu Glacier and Mount Everest at its end. An exciting moment: apart from Mount Everest itself, also Base Camp has acquired a somewhat legendary status. Dispersed over the wide, grey gravel plain below me, right at the end of Rongphu Glacier, Base Camp looked peaceful and colourful. I walked down, crossed the frozen river and entered the camp. I just could not resist the temptation of walking on, and started climbing where I saw three men coming down, in the middle of the field. That proved to be a major mistake. Very soon, I found myself scrambling over boulders, some of which appeared loose, I walked and slid around small lakes, some of which deep blue water, some of which frozen, and I did not advance very fast. Then, I heard something falling behind me, and as I looked back, I realised I was standing on the middle of the glacier, and I had just walked close to an edge of the glacier - with ice falling down from it. I decided to get to the side of the valley as soon as I could, where I joined the actual path leading up Mount Everest. I was very happy to see this path, to see footsteps!
