Josh, coming down to the car for food. We didn't realize we didn't have to bring our own water to the refuge, so we made a couple of trips from 4600 to 4800 meters.

This is the food we carried up to the refuge, two people for two days. Mustard and Diet Pepsi are very important for mountain climbing.
