Beautiful, one of the places I'm definitely going to try and get to in the near future.
What gear did you take up to Base Camp?

Minus 5C! How well did your equipment hold up to those temperatures? Any condensation problems?

P.S. I'm actually quite surpirsed about that, considering the 1Ds MK II has the same operating temperature range as my 350D and indeed the 5D...

I would say keep your batteries in your pocket when not in use, they will last longer!!
The drama of the place looks intense, thanks for posting :)
