Ascent Trip Report

My only unsuccessful summit attempt to date.
My water froze on the way up and I felt like my muscles were not getting enough oxygen. Poorly planned on my part; partly arrogance, partly stupidity, partly trusting the hired guide too much. All in all a humbling learning experience.
