The top of this knife edged rib became one of our best bivouacs.

Ben,
The corniced ridge is 2/3rds the way up the ridge- not many people have been there. Raining in Ouray, heading for Castle Valley tomorrow to climb with Jay and Kitty.

Jim: I recall that you were way skinny upon your return from the Latok epic.
Any memory of how much weight you shed on the expedition?

LOL
Somebody should find that pic of Jim in the GBs and label it "Before", and then a shot from Sawmill Bench as "After".
Anyway, wasn't it Jello that really lost some weight on that one?

Jim, awesome photo!
I think you have done some climbing at Indian Creek with my buddy from Florida, Mark Walters. Young kid, shaggy blond hair. Am I right?

OK, joking aside; the most successful not-quite-ascent in Himalayan history!
Hats off.
