Selection testview from the summit the dream comes true

The whole thing ripped off and blew away, disappearing into a howling blizzard that night, and into an abysmal crevasse. To stop spindrift from whipping inside, I installed the remains of the tent over the hole, anchoring it with my only ice axe. Like having a 100 km/hr (60 mph) wind destroy my tent and having to dig a snow cave. Over the years, it was one humiliating defeat after another. It soon became obvious that climbing her is far more difficult and hazardous than any mountain I had ever experienced. вЂњItвЂ™s only 3954 meters (12972 feet)вЂќ, but I was overconfident. вЂњOne day I will climb this mountain.вЂќ As my mountaineering experience matured to include the highest peaks of the Andes, I tackled Mount Robson. Mount Robson infected me on first sight, on my first visit out west by bicycle 22 years ago. I could sense the torment of the wandering spirits of climbers, frozen into the glacier under my tent. There are over 20 unrecovered bodies all over this mountain. The other party, Malcolm, Randy and Jason from Vancouver had already abandoned and packed out after a whiteout all day yesterday. Gloomy clouds moved in and sent me back to The Dome, at 3200m (10500'). After five unsuccessful attempts, each over two weeks long, I was absolutely amazed to be here and optimistic of my chances.

вЂњMountain spirit, allow me protector spirits, follow meвЂќ, I plea at the base of the Kain Face, a 300 meter (1000 foot), 50-degree steep, ice and snow slope on the remote back side of Mount Robson.
