Looks like a small price to pay. Thats one thing you can cross off your list, One I hope too. Good job

You got that right man! It was Insane, I almost called it quits a few times. I had a great partner though who wouldnt let me leave without reaching the top

So apparently the burns to my face are 2nd degree, Its beginning to blister up pretty severely and my nose/lips are completely swollen. Very painful, but I still think it was worth it.

If anyone ever decides to summit, I don't care how hot you get, wear some type of hat, and wear lots of sunscreen below your eye-line. Your going to sweat a lot so anything above your eye-line is going to pick up sunscreen and run into your eyes and it sucks.

I had initially put some on but that's why I stopped re-applying and payed dearly for it - Happy trails everyone and be safe out there.
