Then on to the face of Lhotse, the second witch, a moon-cold, 4,000-ft. cheek of ice and blackish stones. Ten days of chopping here, with every breath a ton to lift, and then a breakthrough-two tiny figures bobbing far above through the ice glare, like spots before the eyes-to the summit ridge. The excitement rises; the onlooker...
