| I guess the lack of gear deserves an explanation. I had gotten to the top of the ice and found the start of the traverse but it had no gear. I got a good dry tool placement, clipped in and hauled up the hand drill. By the time I was done with that silliness, my legs were completely numb from cold and lack of blood (no feet for the drilling, just hanging from that one tool). I clipped in to the bolt and lowered off. Jack went up and finished it from there. |
