Thanks for the link. Fun read. I didn't know most of those stories since I climb more rock than ice. Those guys are hard core! :)

What the hell does conquering a mountain mean anyway? Do people think that just because they stood on top of a peak that it has been conquered? I'm pretty sure that same peak will be there long ago any summiteer has withered away into dust. Seriously....As Lionel Terray put it, We are only conquistadors of the useless.
