TheSherpas: UTI also made the climb down very painful and I had to pee a lot. It made the descent much more difficult. I also got a problem with my eye on the way down and had trouble seeing anything.4

I want to again say how grateful I am for all of those who made this climb possible. Without your support, teamwork and strength I would not have been able to climb Makalu. Thank you so much to my super strong sherpa @tenjin.sherpa.752, to the incredible fixing team @makalulakpa_8485m and Seven Summit Treks.
