50/50 article in The Alpinist Magazine

Hi Everyone,
I've always been able to find answers here, and I'm hoping to again...

Does anyone have a copy of the recent Alpinist magazine which features an article called 50/50? I would really appreciate a good quality scanned copy sent to my email address

And for anyone who hasn't read it, it's a beautifully written story of a mountaineer's life. A friend insisted that I read this article when last we were in the Grampians together. To encourage me to read the story he said "the ending is very sweet". To which I question "good sweet or bitter sweet?"... "good sweet" was his reply.

When I finished reading it, I cried a little. He said "so did I". It's definitely a rule of thumb to live by.

50/50
