"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

wunderschoene klettereiLoved it. We couldn't find the last bit to the top however. Descent on climbing shoes not recommended. I left my mountaineering boots at the start of the route. But couldn't find them on the way back. The walk back to the bivy was painfull.

Papillions areteA magnificent classic and much the better for the very limited amount of in situ gear on the route. Lovely climbing on excellent rock
