Tommy: It was just kind of a bigger scale version of what we have done in the past with a few more variables thrown in. We had big packs that made us climb quite a bit slower than we were used to. But our ability to simul climb through relatively hard terrain and climb 5.11 in approach shoes, gloves and packs were the key to making this happen for us.

Re: Fritz Roy Traverse
From the line on that picture, it looks like they missed two summits.
Are they going back to finish?

Hmmm... I don't see the inclusion of some important items like a compass or a map, among other missing "10 Essentials."On this epic adventure they took:
two backpacks (35 and 25 liters)
one sleeping bag
a BD First Light tent
a stove and three gas canisters
one ice tool
two pairs of aluminum crampons
one ice-screw
2 each Camalots to #2

Peter Aitchison on the risks of rock climbing and mountaineering: "That's life, isn't it? We think the challenge and satisfaction you get from doing this is worth the risks."
"Respect the mountain. Train hard. Hope you can sneak up when it isn't looking."
"The mind is always worried about consequences, but the heart knows no fear. The heart just does what it wants."
