The summit itself is very dangerous in bad weather as you can walk over a snow cornice and fall 1000 feet to your death very easily. Will -- |

Will ---------------------------------- I thought you'd be the first to volunteer! Apart from the ice and snow it looks a tad windy as well. -- |

A few years ago, a mate and I spent an hour crawling across the summit plateau, throwing snowballs in front of us to check the edge of the known world wasn't too close! Friday would be an interesting day to go up there but our climbing clubs motto is "An epic a day keeps boredom at bay"! Cheers Neil |
