August 1982. I am just now getting around to digitizing my slide transparencies.

Sweet view!

Wish I'd taken that.
I was once killing time in a thunderstorm by roaming on the upper Vowell Glacier and spotted two climbers huddled high on Snowpatch. They would have been right in line with the summit in your pic, and not much lower. I worried about them, but when they passed by camp later, they were pretty nonchalant. They'd waited it out, sitting on their packs, then finished the climb & rapped.
I'd have been cryin' for Mama.
