why are you not sitting in that tent next to you? Sure it would have provided shelter...

Hard to light a cigar under such conditions.

@dondeestamarie Hi, the course I took was in New Zealand, in the south island, alpine village of Mt.Cook. The course went for a week (6 days, started on a Sunday and went till Saturday). We learnt basic rope skills, crevasse navigation, rock climbing techniques, crampon footwork, bivvying (sleeping in the open). Send me a PM for more information, I learnt a lot from this course, very fun too, but it involves a lot of climbing with load.

@ashatbracks how long is the course and how do you get started? i've really taken up an interest in mountaineering, i just don't know where to start as far as preparing and getting more experienced before i even think about summitting anything.

Has K2 aged Jake Meyer so much, so quickly?
btw- "Pretty shitty day..." Bit of an understatement, eh? Nice one!

@jingeshan24 Thanks, I recently took up a mountaineering course in New Zealand. I'm looking to experience more. So probably swiss alps, starting on the gentle peaks and then proceeding to Mt.Blanc.

@ashatbracks so basically,if you want my advice as a climber, i would recommend to climb monte rosa or dom in the alps for starters... they are relatively easy mountains to climb and will give you a great taste of both the weather you will experiance on a serious mountain and the physical condition that you will need to have.
afterwards trying to climb mont blanc and the matterhorn to really give you a taste of extream mountaineering.
then you can try to go for denali or the karakoram mountains.

@ashatbracks i'm sorry to tell you but there is not much to tell mate :D
basically, acclimisation is just the travel to the base camp and all the minor pushes towards the final camp (before the final ascent).
my cousin almost got killed because of an avalanche (something that is pretty common on denali, which makes it almost as dangereous as K2.).
he got really lucky and his team made the final push during a pretty long periud of clear weather and everything went smooth, and that's all she wrote
