Itinerary description

I guess that this is one of the most recorded tracks, I post it only for the sake of photo documentation.
Maybe in the long stretch inside the base camp there was some trespassing component. Namely, arriving in snow and mist I did not notice that at a certain point there was written "access for climbers only". However, due to the same weather conditions, everybody were well sealed inside their own tents, so I experienced no problem throughout my long visit.
