[nigellipps] So it turns out if we're not macho enough to finish Whitney, up against a shear cliff where our feet slip every other step, we have to pack out our own dung... #failed #mtwhitney #ishallreturnagain #wasalmostthere

[imranthechemist] Came here 4 days ago. Slipped and my pack dragged me off the side of that big rock just after the cables, plummeted down. If the snow wasn't deep and powdery. I'd be dead. You made a smart choice man..
