The bleak weather dampened my spirit, but I soldiered on to the summit. It was worth the
effort, as the 360-degree view was fantastic. Note the leather gloves on the cairn: without
them, my hands would have been shredded on the sharply-eroded rocks near the summit.

This picture would not have been possible without the steady
support provided by Joe Tripod. He was bored by the view.
