Nice video! It’s a huge ask to acclimate so quickly and the continual ascending is far from ideal. Thanks for sharing

At my age, I should have known better and spread the trek a few extra days, now I know for next time. Glad you enjoyed the video

May I ask what company you used and the cost? I want to do a similar trip but all the ones I seem to see are group expeditions. I'd like it just to be me guide and porter. How much is it customary to tip your guide and porter? did you do any altitude before this to acclimatise? Looks like an amazing trip and never be disheartened by making the smart choice to turn back.

Hi, I used www.treksplannernepal.com, with regards to tips , its entirety up to you, they suggest 25% to each. You can ask for a discount on the trip price if you book early enough this can help towards tip. I didn’t prepare for altitude other than doing Annapurna circuit the year before, but where I live in the UK there’s not really anything that would help me with preparing for altitude Good luck and thank you for the kind words

If success is only when you reach a peak, how do you classify all the other events in your life?

Yes, very true. Success is achieved from experiences, summating would have been a nice to complete but the overall experience was still successful.

To be honest it’s not your fault based on the timeframe given by the company for summit wasn’t long enough..everyone is different some people needs 2-3days on every 1000m before heading to higher..I tried Lobuche two times each time iv failed because of the lack of acclimatization..third time i went private added 5extra days headed up to high camp for night and went back to base camp basically like rotations on big mountains and it worked..

Yeah I do think that if I had 2-3 more days like you said, I might have completed it. Just means I’ll have another reason to go back and maybe try island Peak. Let’s see Thanks for you words of encouragement

Sherpas only got $5 US a day in 2013. When i offered more my team leader said don't do that or they will expect it... well fuk they deserve it. Western culture in nepal mountains is disgusting. No wonder sherpas get pissed. Selfishishness of westerners is disgusting

Congratulations on your Mera Peak trek. Great video and commentary. It is a lot harder than one might think. My son and I did the trek a few years back, I did not summit, sounds similar to what you experienced. Something that I will never forget. See out adventure at kzitem.info/news/bejne/wIOCtq5maohlm4Y Best of luck with your next adventure.
