wow - this is an absolute epic B, your reports are always an entertaining and enjoyable read but this one has a sinister side that really maintains suspense :shock: hell of a hike in those conditions though I have to say worth every step (& bumslide of course) if those photos are anything to go by :clap: :clap:
