This is Chedan Harrar campsite at 14,300 ft ASL

It is huge, wide and relatively flat

I entered this area towards right side on higher altitude while my porters were in the middle at lower altitude.

I had the idea that we need to cross the mountains visible in the background so i kept my higher altitude but then my porters crossed my path towards right and went to extreme right of this area to cross the highest point :S

We turned right and started the climb towards final pass.

Now we were entering 15000 ft ASL zone so i was getting slow. I sent my porters ahead to set the camp while i kept climbing on my own pace.
