...lob into an attempt at the summit of Denali from 14k camp at 03:00 in the middle of the 'night'
result
not so good - time to tie into pancake of frozen rope at -55 (extensive), wind at top of headwall (not so good, 'no that's not a 747, that's the wind'), oh dear, i can't stand up right now (as before), result (retreat to ice cave until lack of feeling in lower extremities prompts retreat to 14k) and peanut M&Ms...
no feeling in front part of feet for approx 2 years...
