I wish you the best of success on your adventure.


Hi Ed, Seems we've both had some bad luck. In 2015 I'm sure I'd have made the summit but for that snowstorm.
I've decided to give it another shot today despite the message I'm getting from my shaky 60yo joints. As the saying goes, 'go hard or go home' . I'll be tracking a stripped down pack and making for Trail Camp again for an overnight before a summit attempt on Tuesday.

Good luck to you next week.
