Thanks Rumuald. As I reached the summit it started to snow and it looked like systems coming in from all directions. My wife had watched the climb via binoculars from the hut and of course it was nothing more than a cloud on top of me. It is funny how different your perception is when at different elevations in the Rockies. It was nice to descend and see that it was nothing. The next day, we did get a huge winter snow storm. I would imagine this route has approximately 4 feet of snow it at the moment. Cheers!

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
