I forgot to mention one guy who came down after actually summitting on Sunday in those hurricane force winds. His face was still marked by the rocks and ice, even with a face covering. And he said the wind-assault on his his eyes was so bad he could barely see, and that was when he was down at 8000 feet. He should have at least had goggles. We thought he had poor judgement. I bailed because I wanted to enjoy the climb. Not survive it.

Even though I failed, I still feel energized by the experience and am excited to try again ASAP. It's that same feeling many here have when a track day is approaching.
