After the sun had gone down, it got bitterly cold very quickly. I think it's the closest I've ever been to hypothermia and I was very worried about frostbite, especially after exposing my hands taking this photo.

Taken from Refugio Poqueira, where we stayed the night before the summit attempt. The mountains you can see in the far distance are in Morocco; the flatness you can see just before them is the Mediterranean Sea.
