Rain delayed our start by over 2 hours. We then got lost a few hundred meters up the west ridge and had to backtrack quite a bit to find the best way up. One party member banged up his knee pretty bad, and we had to call it 150m from the top because we ran out of time. A good thing we turned back then because we had a stuck rope lower down that wasted a bunch more time. This one hurt to turn around so close but that's how it goes. The hike out was absolutely brutal with no summit stoke to carry us back. Glad we still have all of our teeth
