Thanks Rowan,

Won't say anything now but for those on the site who have met me, can you spot anything strange about the summit photo?

Seriously, I thought the photos were great, thanks for putting them up.

1. a very red nose

2. what looks like a giant condom next to where you're sitting

3. is that an ice axe you're holding aloft or a golf club??

LOL :-)

1. Yes I did have a very red nose. The result you can see in one of the other photos in the album.

2. Umm, don't think anyone is brave enough to get it out for long enough in those temperatures.

3. I did plant a "Golf Tee" on the summit and shout "Up yours mr J. White!".

Next hint will come shortly.

What's strange about the summit photo?

Well, there's another climber sitting on your shoulders and you are thumping him in the face with your left fist!

That seems a little strange!

:-)



Just joking! The pictures are all great. Thanks for sharing them. And I particularly like the 'nice traverse' shot. What an extraordinary view. You've seen the world from a slightly different angle Conan...

Actually, on looking again I reckon it's actually Steve Perry, not you! Did you sneak him up in your rucksack??

We have a winner.
That hint was too easy I think.

I didn't say to Jon that it was a photo of me on the summit.

I did a similar pose 1st and Scott took a couple of shots with my camera, or so he thought. Checked the next day and they weren't there :-(

Lucky he took the one dodgy shot of me on the summit looking the other way or I would have had nothing!!!
