Easter : 2002 |
|
The boring rock climb of last year became an adventure |
|
this year due to one simple factor - ice. Pure, solid, sore |
|
to fall on ( just ask Rory) ice. |
|
|
|
As we turned the corner of the mountain we faced yert |
|
another challenge. Wind. We were sheltered up until |
|
this point, then as we began to turn the wind hit us. |
|
|
|
At points, the wind was so strong that we had to use the |
|
old ‘duck and roll’ technique, with one exception - |
|
dont roll. |
|
|
|
|
|
As we got higher and higher, it got colder, icier, and more |
|
dangerous. The inexperience of McQueeney wanted to go |
|
down (or was that common sence?), and the inexperience |
|
of Fergason wanted to go up! Bolton, not wanting to be |
|
defeated, wanted to wait utill we could see the top before |
|
making a final decision. |
|
|
|
This shot on the right was taken at the expense of my |
|
camera case. As i took it, the 60mph winds picked up my |
|
case and walked off with it. As the case blew away, |
|
McQueeney said “your case just blew away”....duh.... |
|
The car, I swore I parked it here |
