Oscar showed us a picture of you and your daughter that night at dinner! Glad you made it up the Grand and back home safely! Wasn't that a strenuous climb! Amy, our guide was a task master! I'm so glad I got to meet you; you are truly an amazing person and my hero! I've dreamed of doing everything you have done. Keep at it! I can't wait to follow your next Everest attempt!Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137475048691490773.post-69804223080175531592013-06-12T10:34:53.162-05:002013-06-12T10:34:53.162-05:00Hi Robert,

Sorry that you were unable to complete making it to summit this time. Will be pulling for you next year.<br /><br />Harold Roper Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137475048691490773.post-2365365920751915452013-06-07T13:59:43.507-05:002013-06-07T13:59:43.507-05:00Thank you everyone for the kind remarks.

My search for a guide suddenly ended as there is no one I'd rather climb with than Phil and the Altitude Junkies.RobertKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555522401001941093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137475048691490773.post-50601242305261521082013-06-06T17:24:30.343-05:002013-06-06T17:24:30.343-05:00Sorry to hear about your summit disappointment, Ro...Sorry to hear about your summit disappointment, Robert. I have an abiding memory of passing you on that endless snow slope between Camps 3 and 4 on Manaslu with your foot inside Gombu's down suit. It's a real shame about the cold feet, as I've no doubt you would be strong enough to summit otherwise. It sounds like you had harder conditions on the north side this year than we did last year. The right decision to turn around - no mountain's worth sacrificing body parts for!<br /><br />Good luck persuading Phil to go south next year. I don't fancy your chances much with that one, but whoever you end up climbing with I hope it will be third time lucky for The World's Top Motorcycle Dealer and richly deserved. In any case you have a great attitude - if only more climbers could recognise the important things in life.Mark Horrellhttp://www.markhorrell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137475048691490773.post-48304889859347932022013-06-04T15:02:01.993-05:002013-06-04T15:02:01.993-05:00Thanks so much for taking the time to share about ...Thanks so much for taking the time to share about your adventure.

Much more than the stereotype stupid things normally reported (either: "you must see it I`m on the top of the world", or: "Its all just tourism there"). <br />Btw, I`d never make it, I`m the first to get cold feet.

Really cool for me to get such a great description and pics of a climb up the north side. So sorry about the cold feet, but better to be safe than sorry. You made the right call. Enjoy Kathmandu and your family. You are correct in that you have SO much to be thankful for. The mountain will always be there. You'll see you Everest dream come true no doubt.<br /><br />Best,<br />Brandon ChalkBrandon Chalkhttp://www.brandonandkristine.comnoreply@blogger.com
