Climbing on sand and ash in the baking hot sun was gruelling. Conditions, you know, no toilet that they would burn plastic bags to get rid of them. And just like the physical demands of climbing this thing, it took so many, you know,. such a long time. My wife got ill, and when the conditions, i have to say, were terrible. I mean, there's no one there to clean at rubbish. There are guides who go up and down every day. And er, they just carry all stuff in plastic bags. We re sitting down so they could cook us lunch. They start gettingup their bags out to start preparing it and cooking it
