I was there too, and I brought a camera. I can't figure out how to post pictures here, but if you're interested, they are in the gallery. Start early, use protection if you rope up, and cross the bergshrund far to the west; the bridge's days are numbered. I'm glad that we didn't rope up because taking the time to deal with with pounding in pickets as rocks and ice fell down from the pearly gates would have sucked; I wanted to get through that section as quickly as possible.

I was one of the other guys that went up via the Sahale Arm that day. In the time that it took us to eat and rope up for the glacier, you guys had crossed it and started up the rock. You are lucky to have summited before the big guided group; they really took their time rapping down. Fun climb.
