(sense my sarcasm)...Knowing Kim, what you call "scary" was really just lots of fun, and she never seems to have a working headlamp. I've never heard of this traverse, looks like it could be cool, although I'm pretty sure that a ridge traverse means traversing the actual ridge...but to each his own. I certainly can't free climb at Kim's level either so I feel your angst. I've used the term peak bagging quite often in jest, but "route bagging" is a new one!! Thanks for posting.
Have you considered the positive impact your images have on those that through you accompany you to the heights? What a ridge line, what a gallant trek across limitless beauty, what preponderous skill and nerve to negotiate that perilous knife edge.. Not a soul would disagree. Just fabulous, thanks for sharing freely.
