Finally I was relatively secure and I could continue my upward climb towards the summit of the icefall.
Hanging so high off the ground from my belay gave me a real sense of achievement. The mind focused on the immediate situation and at that moment nothing else in the world had any meaning; every bit of effort and attention was concentrated on my partner’s personal safety and health, who was about to start climbing the same path. It wasn’t long before he joined me at the belay, or so it seemed, and he continued to climb to the top.
