ha ha ha, yeah Steven looked like shit near the top of Ramada. Some sort of napping regime every hundred meters. He made it up on Negro when he was a machine near the top.

Acclimization trouble
Camped at 4600 m and 5400 m on the North East ridge. The views are great from Ramada but the NE Ridge is mostly just a scree slog. Not terribly enjoyable.
On the summit I walked around as if drunk. Didn't really acclimitize too well ascending.
Route Climbed: Normal Date Climbed: 26 January, 2006
Camped at 5200m. Tried out a line on the snowy north face, but the snow was too soft and shallow. Returned.
The next day I went to the summit via the normal route in 5 and a half hour. Very nice weather.
Ramada is one of my favorite mountains. So much beauty.
Was a bit worried for some Polish climbers who went very slow as they only had their fifth day in the mountains. Somehow they all managed to reach the 6400m summit!
