Trek to Nanga Parbat Base Camp & Camp 1 - Pakistan. September 2009

Starting at 6:30 am from Fairy Meadows (3, 300 meters), me, Phil and our guide Mohammed trekked up to base camp (4,100 meters) in time for lunch. Decided to push onto camp 1 (4,500 meters), then back down to Fairy Meadows. 12 hours, 1,200 meters up and back down - a long, tough, exhausting and rewarding day.
