Congratulations Erika and company! WOW! This is an amazing accomplishment. I know it is not the top but the journey to get where you have gotten is something to be proud of. It is always good to work with mother nature and appreciate her messages. I am glad you all listen to that, to climb another day.
To future journeys.

Sp proud of you, Erika Hernandez, for attempting this climb twice and both times being thwarted by route conditions. I guess a third time will be the charm. :-) Congrats to everyone in your group! AJ
