This is all the gear I zippered out leading off of Long Ledge about midnight trying to summit in the dark. Luckily, I had a good red alien in that stopped my fall. This photo was taken the next morning. I have heard of a story of someone else taking the same fall but zippered out everything and took a 100 footer! However, my fall in the dark scared the crap out of me! This is what can happen when you've been climbing for well over 14 hours with a case of "summit fever".
