"I am not a mountaineer, but what a life"
An adventure, a physical feat, an emotional journey and an exhausting 3 days. Attempting to describe the experience in a small amount of space is impossible so here are the photos and some quotes to relive the experience.
"I made it to the top and saw both God and the Devil"
Day 1: Training on the glacier. Crampons, harnesses, ice picks and some serious climbing boots.
Day 2: Climb from base camp to the second refuge
Day 3: 12am wake up to begin the ascent to the peak. 1st step: Get across the first glacier in the dark and look up occasionally at the crusts of the peaks that can only be seen by the moonlight. 2nd step, stay mentally strong. 3rd step, stay physically strong. 4th step, just keep going. 5th step, look around you...in amazement and try to stop the tears from freezing on your cheeks. 6th step, brace yourself for the hellllll that is walking down a mountain.
