| asmrz | The North Face, Direct in 1965  Date Climbed: Jul 10, 1965 | |

| On my first trip outside of Czechoslovakia in 1965, I climbed the Direct Route (UIAA V+)on Spik with one of the leaders of our Prague Rock Climbing Club. I was 17 years old. I don't remember much about the route (it's been a while) but this Julian Alps month long trip cemented what I would do (lovingly) for over 40 years. I came back home convinced that mountains (and especially beautiful mountains like the Julian Alps) would be a huge part of my life. One of these days I will go back. |
