Great words and photos of an amazing adventure--relieving your heart of regret, pushing those lungs and legs, incredible snowy vistas and an exotic setting! I'm not at all surprised that you turned into a facilitator on that first journey--that's what you do with your encouragement and support on travelblog! Inspirational watching you dance with grace through the rough spots. Climb every mountain....

Just nine metres.....???
Sod group dynamics....I'd of been up there like a rat up a drainpipe, but knowing my luck I would have probably been struck down with AMS, 30cm from the top. The main thing is, you did it in the end :) Actually, I still have a few regrets about my time in Nepal.... then again, if I went back and did something about, I would probably only end up getting nicked ;)

THANKS NICK...YEP...JUST 9 METRES
You go all that way...its nearly close enough to touch...so so glad I went back...makes up for so many instances whereby I cannot rectify my regret...could not have worked out better.

So close and yet so far....
Some goals are years in the making....and worth the effort. Isn't it something when it eats away at you until you complete the goal? Loved your photos and you look great! Those amazing mountains can call your spirit.

Regret can be good
Read this and found it amazing, if you hadn't regretted your family would have missed out on a great trip
