All the equipment to make the journey -- headlamps, climbing gear, tents, food, amazing guides and paramedics -- were provided by the company that organizes the 3 night trek. The group size is limited to 15, the size of this MIT college reunion group. They work hard and play hard. I will be making many more pages of this adventure and I will post them to the gallery, but will no longer submit them to the color challenge (because it feels a little like cheating.)
