After over six hours of darkness, we were rewarded with a spectacular sunrise. Kevin (BIL) had been watching the sky for something more than a sunrise. He kept seeing lightning in the distance. He said he was worried about it. He said he thought it wasn't a good idea to continue the climb. He wanted us to think about turning back. Eric, our 4th person on the crew, would not hear of it. He said it was early and when the sun rose, better weather would be the result. We two women silently trudged on.

Is No One Listening to Me?!?!?!

This photo says it all. The three of us are watching the colorful sunrise and Kevin is turned in the opposite direction staring at the occasional bolt of lightning he kept seeing. This is when he cried out, "Is no one listening to me?!?!" Looking back, I wish we had.

The way I remember it, It was more than the occasional lighting strike and all I wanted was to pause and watch to sky for a minute so we could make a clear decision to continue or not. BUT NO ONE WAS LISTENING?!?!?!
