Considering the good weather and the snow conditions in the Himalayas, summiting Mera peak has no other barriers.

Then, as soon as the Danish team enter the Khumbu valley the exhilarating voyage through the Sherpa homeland begins.  Danish climbers were totally cooperated by the natural conditions and their trekking guide through out their route via Namche, Tengboche, Kharka, Tagnag, Khare and finally to the summit of Mera Peak.
