Yea.... he'll be back there next year. In fact, since he's had a couple of days to rest, I'm sure he's already planning his next trip. I don't know how this mountain does it, maybe a witches spell or something.....but it does.
Great report, especially the tips at the end. If every first timer followed them, they would be much more prepared. Thanks for sharing.
