PS. Even if you only go to the summit for an hour or two, please acclimate at the VIS - just half-an-hour will make a difference. I've seen too many people go downhill very quickly, literally, because they didn't let their bodies adjust to the altitude. And don't rely on help being on the way. You may not realize you need help and if you or your friends/colleagues do, it might be two hours away at best.
