They’d be OK for swiss replica watches Frippe to make a couple of quick turns

However, with Laila, the seracs that, at climber’s right of the rock band, are the equivalent of the don’t-even-think-about-it look from an attractive woman in a bar that’s waiting for someone who is clearly not you. They’d be OK for swiss replica watches Frippe to make a couple of quick turns beneath on his ski descent but to make an approach beneath them would be to open yourself to almost certain humiliation and potential bodily harm. No, our idea was to take a more indirect approach. We’d climb in from the west, set up a camp, descend, then wait for a weather window. It would take a bit more time and effort but Laila is worth it.So we headed out from base camp around 8:00 a.m. and maneuvered our way through a short, easy rock band to reach a couple of nice snow bowls.

The snow was perfect for hiking and by noon we were at 5,140 meters (16,863 feet) on a ridge leading to the west of Laila.Hi there. You remember Fredrik from 2005, right? Well, he’s just said so many nice things about you, and since we were in the neighborhood we just had to stop by and see you. And yes, all those things he’s said about you are true. Here we are surrounded by all these stunning faces yet you really do stand out. But enough of that, it’s a lovely weekend and the band is rockin’. How about a spin ‘round the dance replica Concord watches floor? C’mon, it’ll put a smile on your face, and if it doesn’t, then just give us the sign and we’ll leave you alone. Promise. Or maybe not that cheesy, but, y’know, something like that.We began to shovel a tent platform. Light clouds skittered in from the south, and about the time we got the tent up it started snowing. We ducked into our shelter--a confusion of down, elbows, and gear--and kicked back as the rest of the day alternated between snow, sun, and those rare magical moments when you are blessed with both.

Laila was acting like the girl who surrounds herself with an replica Jaeger LeCoultre watches impenetrable wall of friends but every now and then looks over and smiles right at you. Not a yes, but not a no either. More of an I might be interested, but, you know, I’m not that easy. But after all, that’s why you’re here, isn’t it?So after a restless night at our first camp over 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), we left the tent and descended back to base camp for a few well-needed rest days. Despite being surrounded by dozens of gorgeous faces glistening in the sun, tempting us with big, open bowls and steep couloirs, our thoughts are only of Laila.--Trey CookFor more photos of K2, check out climber Fabrizio Zangrillis gallery.
