A lovely photo. Thank you.
I wonder what emotions Whymper felt when he looked up at it? Probably the entire gamut from the most intense desire to the most bitter regret.
"Climb if you will, but remember..."

you know your history on the mountian and Edward himself. I cant imagine the emotions he had espeically has he had to attempt the ridge without the fixed lines.The first time I looked at her My emotions were a mixture of wow and christ that looks quite steep, but after climbing the mountain I come to the conclusion that the mountain looks amazing from a distance but not so nice when your on it.
