Sandy that was a great report! I am so happy that you and Bill made it to the summit. Word to us was that Bill had been hurt and I was really bummed for you guys until I saw you on the Trough. I was really happy and impressed when I saw you guys. Especially you Sandy. At the GTG on Wednesday you sounded like there was no way you would go beyond the Keyhole. Great Job on a great accomplishment. That is a real mountain and I am very happy you guys conquered it.

Congrats on the summit and overcoming your fear!
Good to know that coming back down is scarier... I always thought it would be the worst part. It seems like you can't just stare at the rock in front of you... you have to look down.

Not at all, Jim!!
We were so hoping we could "persuade" you to come on with us! Watching you climb back and forth across the "bars" I figured you had it! For whatever it's worth...In my mind that's as bad as the exposure ever gets. Once past that spot it's only a matter of stamina....and I know that's not an issue for you!
