Phil (left) and Carl using the fixed ropes to the toilet. I originally put the ropes up for a joke, but half way through realised the necessity of it - as I was hanging off the toilet door with my legs blowing in the wind. This was the most dangerous thing that I did whilst in NZ. James was actually blown off the "Summit Rocks" just before the toilet. The wind would have picked him up and blown him into the Hostetter Icefall if it was not for the rope. It was an impressive fall. 27 Mar 04
