The route they climbed is 11,000 feet from their base camp. (The route we climbed started at sea level so was 15.000 feet high.)They waited at base camp for 11 days for the weather to clear. Which seems boring. But they had lots of technology with them:
"For 11 days we sat in our tents, killing time. Many people ask what we do to pass the time while tent bound. I think it's probably similar to being in a nursing home. You have to turn the small everyday activities into individual major events. Things you normally do while multi-tasking (eating, pooping, grooming, etc). That, and try to sleep as much as your body will allow. For me, that is 13 hours/day. We also had an ipad, two computers, lots of movies, angry birds, some shooting game that I mastered..."
