Jon Krakauer Quote
Beidleman knew they were on the eastern, Tibetan side of the Col and that the tents lay somewhere to the west. But to move in that direction it was necessary to walk directly upwind into the teeth of the storm. Wind-whipped granules of ice and snow struck the climbers’ faces with violent force, lacerating their eyes and making it impossible to see where they were going. It was so difficult and painful, Schoening explains, that there was an inevitable tendency to bear off the wind, to keep angling away from it to the left, and that’s how we went wrong. At times you couldn’t even see
