		Once we are comfortable with the altitude, then it is worth taking a hike across the now level East Rongbuk Glacier to the Raphu La, which is a fantastic viewpoint for Makalu, Kangchenjunga and the Kangshung Face of Everest.
		Under the supervision of the expedition leader and Sherpas, we make an early start from ABC and set off for the North Col. The moraine continues up the side of the glacier, close to the flank of Changtse, then we break out onto the glacier.
		There are few crevasses and the going is easy until we reach the very foot of the slopes leading up to the col. The entire route to the col is fixed with ropes and these provide security and assistance as we weave up between seracs of ice.
