<p>The climb to the summit of Mera starts gradually in the early morning around 3 am. The central summit will soon appear above the head of a wide glacier flanked by two ridges. We climb to the centre of this over open snowfields while avoiding crevasses. The route then swings south east, skirting below and to the east of the left hand ridge before turning back to the right towards the main summit ridge of Mera. Mera actually has three summits; the highest is our objective. We reach this by following a classic snow ridge until just below the final wall that guards the top. This short steep snow slope is easily climbed but there is a big effort required to climb the last 50 meters. Your reward, however, is a feeling of ecstatic jubilation as you survey the magnificent panorama from the top. After taking pictures and enjoying the view, we descend by the same route back to our campsite below the Mera La and on to Khare. Overnight in teahouse.</p>
