Steve,
Looking at that runway at Lukla, it appears you could disappear down that chute swapping alt for airspeed while IGE. What is the slope on that runway?
(Not expecting an answer immediately as I assume you still stuck in Adho Mukha Vrksasana waiting for the divine Ms. D to smack you in the guts with a delaminated -5 RHC blade kept specifically for the purpose of bringing you back to earth).
