Scott Loveless, Brian (high school buddy not seen in 28 years who has agoraphobia) and myself made it to MacRae Peak - half an hour short of the Attic Window. Mark is like some sort of mountain goat on crack - he moves like a ferret with a rocket up it's chuff. *and* his pack(s) weighed more than my bag full of Darkside gear, so i have no excuses. Shamed again. Taking The Biscuit Award goes to Scott who showed tremendous stamina and sweated more than an Al-Quaida taxi driver during an air raid, hauling his respectable frame up ladders and across frictionless rock - pausing only half-way up a particularly nasty incline, muscles straining and breathing heavy, for a quick bivouac by leaning on a ledge and lighting up a ciggy. Photos and full report to follow!
