My focus was on getting back down to Camp 4 at 26,000 ft. It took 18.5 hours from Camp 4 - summit - back to Camp 4 (because of the crowds). Crazy stuff!

That is what is making Everest so frighteningly dangerous.The enormous crowds all clustered at the Hillary steps and on the narrow ledges make for a dangerous wait to get up and down.18.5 hours RT from Camp 4. WOW!!!
