Paso Guillaumet in the snow storm (UPDATED)

We got a few photos from our last attempt. They were taken by a couple from Seattle that shared our optimism for the weather window that never openened. You can see the great view and ideal rock climbing conditions (sarcasm):

Amazingly, Austrian Markus  Pucher climbed Cerro Torre in the same storm, by himself and without a rope.

Edited to add: We just had the good fortune if running into Markus at a local hostel. He was very generous and shared hours of videos and stories from his climb. It was truly impressive to see him looking down 800 m as he climbed steep rime ice on the Cerro Torre headwall. He also shared his attitude about alpine climbing: the summit is not that important as it is just a fleeting moment. It is the adventure of actually doing the climbing that is where all the fun is. For his whole climb, he said that he would continuly check in with himself and ask "is this ok?" If the answer was yes, he continued. In this case, he eventually found himself at the summit of Cerro Torre, alone and in a snow storm! Thanks for the stories Markus!

We are sitting tight today, and heading up again tomorrow for round 3.
