   Impressive! Looks like there were a few others on the mountain.

   What time did you start/end?

      I left my car a little after 8am…two other guys summited shortly after I did…one of them had an accident on the way down and I stayed with them and helped…we didn’t get to our cars until 8pm…long day lol..but he was surprisingly ok and that’s what really mattered

         Good that you were able to stay and help, and doubly good that he was okay. What happened?

            One of the guys decide to glissade down starting at the summit…the surface was ice and he couldn’t slow himself down, he rolled over and tried to self arrest but couldn’t and he slid right off the side and disappeared… in-between the winter route and summer route…it took awhile to find him..to be honest I thought we were looking for a body..but somehow he ended up with just a busted up face and his clothing torn up, and I’m sure lots of ugly bruises..I don’t know how he stopped, he lost his ice ax halfway down and his snow shoes, that were on his pack..his gloves went farther than he did..no idea how he stopped or how he wasn’t more serious injured…lots and lots of luck..it was pretty unreal and not something I won’t be forgetting…
