High five’s all around! I had already climbed the infamous “Jarvis Step” from the South Col and gained the summit before learning three of our party had succumbed to acute I.C.H. Had I known of their impending condition I would have stayed back to assist! Nevertheless, bagging a “First Summit” (of the month) is always very satisfying, and first descents just icing on the cake. 
I was so proud to have not been scared off by Dege, when the party moved on to “I’m Not Afraid” Bowl my confidence was just bursting over! Then a concerned tourist asked whether we had ever done this before and suddenly an impending feeling of fear and doom overcame me (Fear Factor ski run, next chute over skier’s left, way too scary).
It wasn’t until the second run down Not Afraid did I begin to feel back in sync (sorry, too hard to explain), and as the party moved on to Sunrise Basecamp for Maddog’s famous homewrecker hotdogs I realized we’d nailed it - another perfect day in the Northwest!
Cheers everyone! Great day, great company, great turns…

Should have stayed back for that "shot" of courage with the rest of us . . .

Yikes ! What an accomplishment. I'm pleased you all made it back safe. As your mom probably said during your formative years, "be careful".

Having been left for dead on the South Col and suffering the effects of not very hypoxia, I was rescued by the heroes near the summit of Dege Peak. I credit Ron's selfless sharing of his aptly-named tonic for my revitalization. Thanks again for making the entry into my 40s memorable.
