Yikes! For some reason I was reading about John Krakauer, went back over the 96 disaster on Everest and landed up here. Watch this amazing ascent of Tahir Tower in Pakistan. I got vertigo just watching a few of the slides. The whole climb is documented, including the bivouacs on the ledge. Wonder if one can get a good night's sleep knowing you are inches away from the abyss. Do any of you folks rock climb?
Nerves and muscles of steel, these young climbers. WOW!
