Stare down!

Bradford stares down the ferocious predator "Hammer Head" (v5).

See Bradford's progress in the subsequent photos.

Unfortunately, Bob tried to rally at the 11th hour--literally. We'd already done 4 days of climbing, it was 11am and we were all due to depart at 12 noon. Also, we'd already climbed for 3 hours that morning.

Mark and I politefully declined to participate... frankly, I haven't been the same since that trip. My shoulders, elbows, and tendons all seem to have filed a grievance with my governing body...

Bob, I salute you. This display of bravery truly deserves the Medal of Honor.
