Re: retreat

wright you are, it's not going away, but perhaps getting a bit smaller with so many stones falling:)
maybe I never reached the summit yet, but still I live to tell the tale and I'm glad of it:))

Also...

...remember the retreat from Carrel Hut after snowfall...not very funny...
And the most important thing, you mentioned it: the mountain will be there for all the time, you may not have a chance another attempt if you push to far...
