It also said the date was 09/15/03? Put it on and warmed it up and reset it. Guess the watch or the battery doesn't like freezing temps. Woke up to a cool clear cloudless day. 
. I was proud of her, but she was disappointed. We ran into a guy who had turned around short of the summit stating he needed crampons. Feeling sick Sarrah opted to start heading down at this point. I agreed to catch up with her and headed to the summit with Muesli. It took about 10 minutes from the last false summit to the final push to the top. I rolled down the pant legs and put on a jacket. My toes really only were cold during the push to the top and on the way down from the summit. It was really exposed, the winds had picked up, and the FF were wet from mud and slush on the sun exposed sections below the saddle. There were two sections on the small saddle from the last false peak to the summit that were ridiculously slick smooth ice. I took great care to get past these on the way up and opted to come down a little higher on the rocks for footing which seemed to be the safer route and had been used recently. We caught up to Sarrah before the last false summit before the saddle. She didn't start feeling better until we were about a thousand feet below the saddle. We made great time down albeit mostly by headlamp and we were in the parking lot before 7pm. 
We enjoyed the solitude of being the only ones on the mountain on the way down. Sarrah talked about her next attempt and seems determined to get to the top. I know she will next time.
