If Himex's concerns are entirely safety related, we must salute them for their exceptional caution. Adventures are just that, but safety must remain the promary concern. If, however, there are undisclosed financial issues, perhaps the problem is is more involved than weather alone. I sure hope not. Himex's clients make a substantial investment in any of their climbs, including years of preparation, training, gear as well as a very substantial cash out-lay for THE BIG TRIP. I wonder what protections their clients may enjoy - or not, when an entire season is cancelled. I think this needs a second, more detailed look.
