When DiGiulian and her climbing partner, Elliot Faber, took off, they expected mild rain toward the end of the ascent. The night it came, their 10th on the climb, DiGiulian was dead tired and happy just to curl up into the sleeping bag on her portaledge, a suspended shelter that allows climbers to camp on the wall. Then I looked at the forecast, and I was like: Oh, no,' she said.
