How did ATP perform?
There were snags with the HAPs not wanting to fix ropes and confusion over who provided food above BC. But overall they did a pretty good job of getting 29 people from Islamabad to base camp. The food was very basic and I wish we had had more meat in the diet. The cook was fairly rigid in his beliefs that a bland diet of rice and lentils were sufficient. After a lot of complaining he did respond to our request but could only work with what he had. One experienced Karakorum climber, Wilco, brought his own stash of protein.
