The weather had come in on the 4 climbers, but not enough to put them too far behind schedule, they remained resolute in their efforts to continue on up the mountain. With visibility worsening, the team had to huddle in and discuss how they would proceed. With the deadline for turning back getting evermore extended; a few multi pitch belays and Kasha Rigby soloing the last 100 ft of a huge ice bulge saw the team reach the summit of Reddomaine without major incident.

When the team started down the mountain, they were to be the first in history to descend using skis. What had taken them 12 hours to climb, took them 3 hours to descend. When they arrived into base camp the weather had cleared and the moon illuminated their way home.
