Re: Ahhhh!

20 something hours, 19,000 ft. That's what happened to us. BTw if you look carefully i have him still on belay- you cannot see it.

Chalk bag full of snow?

It appears that you have a chalk bag attached. Man, you guys must have been having a really, really bad day. My symphathies!

Re: Chalk bag full of snow?

Indeed,it was. We passed from fair weather to a storm in a matter of minutes.

All that is said is true, but

We were in a climb that it was quite challenging. As soon as Andres arrived at the belay station the storm started and we needed to change from rock shoes to plastic boots and gear up for ice. So, I suppose that if you see pictures of places like this or Patagonia many times poorly rigged belays and many things like that will happen.
