Image from Google Sweating hard, I took another step and plunged boot-deep in the soft snow. The rope pulled sharply at my harness. “You need to slow down dude, I can’t go as fast as you,” Chris urged. He was right; we were gaining nothing by working this hard on the approach. It was 11:00 am, the sun, a rare-sight in this mountain range, was shining brightly down on us. The snow was isothermal. The mighty east face of Cerro Torre leered above, taunting me. This was the culmination of a season spent biding time, ...

There are a number of cracks about which have been created by cornices creeping and slumping the the mild conditions we have been experiencing over the past week. Although some sections of cornice have already dropped off, there are plenty more waiting for when the thaw ...

Image from Google A story by Jason Kruk I tossed and turned, my mind racing, a knot twisting itself tighter in my stomach. I was shifting back and forth trying to get comfortable on the hard granite boulder, disturbing the rest of Hayden, the body shivering beside me in our specially made, two person bivy sack.
