No, thank you for the details! I had not heard of Dhal Bhat before but I'll make sure to eat my salt next time I climb Everest :P

At least, not yet. I did collapse for a good two weeks after. But my body adjusted. My muscles fell away. My arms shrunk. My body became smaller, but my bones stronger. And much more efficient.

This is what I was going to ask about, how you sustain yourself through all that heavy labor on just white rice. Sounds like barely is the answer!

Glad you had such a powerful journey. Rest up before the next one! Preferably with a lot of veggies and however you like your protein!
