They are very helpful here, but if you meet them at a cliff, take the mountain side of the path

Edit: Johanna is back now, she went to 5200 m and is very happy :)

Her report: 

I just came down from the mountain, a small peak at 5200 m (we are now in 4500). The people hiking upward looked pretty tired but I felt ok. I sent Jessica back after 450 m of ascent so she would not get too tired. She was doing fine and she was very comfortable with the speed of our Everest-group. 

I went a bit faster, because the battery in my camera ran out of juice after we had left the hotel and I decided to run down and get a spare one. I then caught up with the group after about 100 m of climbing and I found it hard to slow down. 

So, I'm doing well, lying down in my down trousers and writing here. Mingma just came by and I ordered a three-course lunch :D
