Here is the last couple of pitches, Scott (the guide) climbs first and anchors to belay me up the route.  Working hard, I now have a decent rhythm going. I can see the summit and I know we are going to make it!  Plant axe and breathe in, exhale through pursed lips and take two steps, repeat and switch direction when needed.
