The photos show the intensity of the climb. Looks jaw dropping.
Reaching the summit might have given you one extra experience, but if hiked again at the same time next year , it will throw up totally different experiences.
So not reaching the summit is inconsequential, soaking in the experience is more important. The photos gave us a glimpse of the experience and am spellbound.
Well said! I think you put it better than I did! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Already looking forward to going back better prepared!
