Chilling!

This is a really chilling photo for me considering I nearly killed myself on this mountain a couple of years ago. I got caught is bad weather near the summit and had to make a quick descent but in total white-out couldn't even find the next section of fixed rope at one point. Ended up spending a night unsheltered in the storm halfway up the West Ridge. The 13 Mars Bars I had that night were my saviour!

Re: Chilling!

Wow! The Mars Company will surely buy this story ....The guy died just like this... Did not find the fixed rope in the snow storm
