Wow. That sounds like such a great trip. I am very jealous. Except for the meals. :) Going above the tree line with full provisions is definitely not something I would do unless I wanted to stay there for a bit. Ascents can be much easier as you are playing offence and going forward but descents you are playing defence and just trying to get down. Very different mental state.

Well done. Congrats!

The freeze dried stuff isn't that bad! I'd rank it as better than adequate.

Offense and defense is a great explanation. Ascending is the more interesting part where descending is sort of a necessary evil.

Thanks much! It always feels nice to get out.
