Day
One day spare in case of Bad weather during the summit day.
This day is a spare day in case of any kinds of weather in contingencies in the previous day. There is no such guarantee that we can get quite a favorable weather on our planned day for the summit (day 09), so this day is used as a contingency in case if we are unable to summit the Mera on day 09 due to bad weather condition or some other reasons. If weather became exceptionally unfavorable we wisely have to postpone the program of summiting the peak on day 09 for toady (Day 10). Sometimes somebody in the group may get some problems in acclimatizing well enough to make the ascent; the day can be used in that condition too. If the trip goes smoothly, we do not need this spare day
