I've never been good at putting details into my reports and they come across somewhat flat and...mechanical. I can remember the little details about a trip that make it memorable to me but alas, I lack the talent to put the moments to words. But, I still wanna say something so I continue to try. Anyhoo, every now and then I come across a trip report that strikes a chord. This one in particular makes me wish I could be more eloquent so people could get a feel for the adventure that I had. It's about a climb that I've wished to do for awhile - not a hike, but still a really good read. The author is a talented writer I think: Slesse
