Epic. Congratulations, Ryan. That's one hell of an accomplishment. That video showing Broad Peak above the clouds shows the scale of those huge peaks. And those 12-hour days in the icefall...wow. Way to persevere.

Congratulations Yes ! Great to see a modern day mountaineering go pro kinda report. It seems rare to see what its actually like in this day and age up there and good to see there are still adventurers going for it and making it. Thanks for the report!
