Nice pics and report on your blog, John.
I understand with your extremely busy schedule how hard it is for you to do any reports at all.
Keep them coming which ever way you can.
You used the wrong terminology.
It's not laziness it's time available to spend late nights writing up reports after your other activities from your regular work day.
Hopefully you will get caught up with them.

To bad about your phone.
Which side of the ridge did your pack go down?
Must have been the east side.

This pic looks like you were at the crux where the SE ridge meets the east ridge.


Looks like you took the wrong way up that mountain like I did but it is a fun route.
