We awakened at Camp1 to the site of Ahmed our High Altitude Porter (HAP) unable to walk stand or talk. We had no choice but to send him down to Basecamp. Unfortunately our other HAP descended to Basecamp as well leaving the team with a heavy lift to Camp 2. All members except James who is battling bronchitis moved to Camp 2 and established a firm footing at the base of the Japanese Couloir.
