I've had similar experiences caught without crampons but only for short durations. You did this for hours and then the bivouac. We live (fortunately) and learn.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. The mountain can be an unforgiving teacher...Over the years, I've learned not to raise my hand if I don't know the answer. :) Cheers!
