The more I think about this trip, the more I am so totally amazed and grateful for the extraordinary effort put in by Dave Mention to make it possible for all of us to go on this memorable journey to the other side of the world. We came close to tagging the summit, but as the years go by it seems to me it's the journey itself that i grow more fond of.
