Atari, it will be cold as hell. I appreciate the invite, but I think I'll have been up Russell twice by then, so we'll see. You and I have to tackle something new. Also, think about sleeping on the summit - if you have a history of funk higher up, that might be a miserable night.

Bob, thanks for all the insight on climbing high. Your experience provides invaluable info for the newbies in the group ( me ).
