Finally at about 10:30 AM we reached the top of the headwall (did I mention that we expected to be on the summit at 10:30?). We weren't sure what was beyond this little chute, but photos and route descriptions told us that the hard part was over. I was hesitant to start celebrations because my altimeter only read 13,300 (4050 m.), we should still have 800 feet (~ 250 m.) of climbing to do. I wasn't excited about the prospects.
