It was Everywhere

I turned into a 12 year old here.

Old Glacier Through the Fog

Disappearing in the Fade

Stoic Life

Chris, James and Antony

At the Horse Drinking Pond (3700m). Note their clothing.

Matty at 3700m

Me at the pond, notice my lack of clothing?

James Struggling in the Snow

This was where we took shelter before our last effort to the peak.

Antony's Warning
