5 a.m.: As we leave home the game plan decision is reached. A little sleepy, the early morning coffee hits are just starting to take effect. The caffeine will have to carry us until the endorphins take over. The skies clear and the parking lot is empty, so we run to the base. Hamish slips on his shoes and leaps on the rock, his psyche has been building for this one for years.
