This is some of the most beautiful scenery I have seen posted on a trip report. The pictures are incredible. Not for the fain of heart looks like. Thanks for posting and I hope others can get some inspiration from this adventure of yours because I certainly did.

"This is some of the most beautiful scenery I have seen posted on a trip report. The pictures are incredible. Not for the fain of heart looks like.

I was 50 at the time and in my second year of climbing. That I even got invited was a mystery to me, but I didn't hesitate long enough to give the team leader a chance to change his mind. We missed the summit by less than 300' due to serious icefall peeling off after a recent storm. but to this day I look back on it as one of my very finest mountain experiences. It isn't all about the summit in my book.

More evidence of how much stuff gets lost amongst all the filler here. Good find Kat.
