Day 3 - Summit Day
Summit day dawns. It is perfectly clear, and weather is fairly mild for late September. The company has brought in extra instructors to improve the student-to-guide ratio for the summit climb. Unfortunately we are grouped with one of the 'extra' instructors - one who has no prior experience with us. This is to almost be our undoing later on in the day. In any case, this shot shows us trudging up the Little-A glacier towards the summit.
