| Following the recent tragedies on Annapurna, I felt it necessary to show the weather gods that we humans were still supreme. We picked this mighty summit, starting our hike some time well after 4PM.
CP beat me by about 1 minute on the round trip, but I had the security of knowing that my pack contained gortex pants and lots of cold weather and emergency gear, in case we had to bivy high in the thin cold air.
I bet the view was great, but I was mainly looking at the path in front of me, and the clouds swirling nearby. |
