¨I distrust summaries, any kind of gliding through time, any too great a claim that one is in control of what one recounts; I think someone who claims to understand but is obviously calm, someone who claims to write with emotion recollected in tranquillity, is a fool and a liar. To understand is to tremble. To recollect is to re-enter and be riven…I admire the authority of being on one´s knees in front of the event.¨ - Harold Brodkey ¨Manipulations¨, a passage quoted in John Krakaur´s ¨Into Thin Air¨.

Although i have not been posting recently, I have been trying to take notes as well as discuss our experience on the mountain with the rest of the group. I have not yet had the time needed to write about our trek or the following events but I should have plenty for you by tomorrow night, and I will do my best re-enter how we felt during our experience on the mountain despite Mr. Brodkey´s claim.
