19 Days and Counting - Island Peak ( care of Needle Sports website.) @ 6189 m.

This is what I will have to face and conquer if I want to get to the summit of Island Peak. Fine but where's the train track and choo, choo? What do you mean there's no mountain top cafe???!!! Oh!! My fear of heights will get an airing then.

Snowdon is 1085m. That's about a sixth of the size of Island Peak and I was knackered climbing that. I feel so much better now!!
