No shortcuts.
Every real summit is reached the same way: one step, then the next one, for longer than feels reasonable. ALTU is not a shortcut. It is a marker planted at the point people usually turn back.
Field note. The Lukla airstrip is 527 m long and tilted uphill so planes can stop in time. Nobody starts this walk by accident.
The mark.
A ring and a peak, cut from the same line. Two hikers stand at its base to remind you how large the thing you are looking at actually is, and how small the two of you looked from the ridge below.
Held, not chased.
Altitude is not won once and kept forever. It has to be held. That is the only promise here: not a peak, a position, defended one day at a time.
Field note. Climbers go high in the day and sleep lower at night. The body learns the height by being brought back to it, again and again.
04 · The route
Six camps to the top.
The South Col line, the one most people take. Each camp is one thing to get done before the next one.

Base Camp
Khumbu Glacier, the last flat ground. Copy the contract here, while you can still think clearly.
-

Camp I
Across the Icefall. Set up a Solana wallet: Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. Write the seed phrase on paper and put it somewhere boring.

6,400 m
Camp II
The Western Cwm, a long white valley that gets hot at noon. Load the wallet with SOL. Keep a little extra for fees.

Camp III
Lhotse Face, pitched into ice. Open pump.fun and paste the CA. Check every character matches the one on this page.

Open pump.fun -

Summit
A third of the oxygen you had at sea level, and a view nobody can take from you. Stay a while. Holding is the climb now.
