"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

In the darkDate approximate. With Louis Reichardt during the three weeks we spent climbing in the French Alps. Rose early and climbed the couloir before sunrise to be able to descend the Whymper Couloir before the warming rays of the sun caused rockfall.
