This is one of those rich tales in which the extra details make all the difference. I don't don't know a lot of people who have climbed this mountain and it sounds like it can be a real challenge. Also, I think I know what you mean about those trips that are enjoyed more in memory. Great job.
It's a good thing we climbed in the evening, because once we'd enjoyed that snow cave, all thoughts of the summit would have taken a back seat to simple survival. Nothing like a cold night to mess up your priorities.
I stole a look at your own gallery - you've been to some beautiful places, too. Keep on sharing those pictures.
