I was very cold and very wet and didn't look very happy, but actually I was. I had wanted to reach Len Shoemaker Peak for two years and although I didn't get to summit due to the bad weather, we had persevered and at least made it up through the maze of cliff bands to Len Shoemaker Basin, a very commendable achievement by my standards.
