This pic show some of the technical / scary stuff. Had to climb ladder tilted over a large crevasse and then go up an almost strait up section. Then turn left and cross another ladder laid across a different crevasse. We had to be belayed(sp?) down the near vertical section when coming down. Also had to use a running belay(sp) on the steeper section where the rope teams alone would have not been sufficient to keep everyone from falling down the mountain.
Only head lamps and moon light on the way up. And the winds were 30-40 mph with gusts to 50. Temperature near 18 degrees on the night climb to summit.

I'm fricking jelly as hell bro. If I'm ever up there I'll def be looking into this. I never realized that you didn't need much experience to give it a go.
