Re: You look

The reason I am looking so delighted (not) is that on this occasion, having observed a stunning sunset the night before, I got up to continue my climb only to find storm clouds blowing around. So I had to pack up and go down quickly. I came back a few days later in better conditions - and got to within an hour of the summit, only to get spooked when the route came close to the top of the dreadful murder wall.
I hope to go back up there and finish the job, maybe next summer...
Where are you off to next?
Cheers, Mark
