Omg if you are at the base camp then I'd say there's a pretty chance you hope to ascend the peak. Was that your intent? Did you make it? I've read the Jon Krakauer books and it just sounds somewhat horrific.

The base camp trek is like a tourist attraction. The base camp trek has many challenges, but many people do not need help to make it. Please make sure you have an experienced guide and insurance.

Ascend to the peak is a different story, and I am studying how to ascend to the peak.

OP would have to wait 7 months for a summit attempt if he was planning to try to get to the top.
