Reaching Gillmans point was the critical thing. The sense of relief was enormous. Now I knew we could do it.
We set up camp on the crater rim at 18,000ft. So cold and windswept that I had brought 3 sleeping bags, one inside the other for each of us. We slept with our boots inside the bags to keep them warm. You are above the clouds and in a world of your own for as long as you can stay alive. |
