James and I talked briefly about a plan. Again, we had brought light bivy sacks for an emergency, but sitting there, we both knew we didn't want to use them. I knew the walk out would be very painful, on account of the foot, but I thought the risk of exacerbating the injury and walking on out was probably a safer option than sleeping on it and finding I couldn't walk the next morning. So we decided to go. And we did.
