Vinson Massif, 1992. Doug Scott and Sharu Prabhu organized a group that flew to Base Camp on the Branscomb Glacier in early December. After several days of ferrying food and gear to the col between Vinson and Shinn, the party spent a rest day before climbing to the top on December 7, 1992 in rather ferocious weather. The summit was reached by the whole party: Scott, Prabhu, Roger Mear, Chris Brown, André Hedger, Sundeep Dhillon, Frank Musgrave, Ian Newell and Michael Parsons.
