Edurne: ¡Campos 1 y 2 instalados con éxito! She is telling that the heat is strong at BC and all Annapurna. It could be a real problem in the near future. There're already some pics of the expedition in her Galería

I think it´s great and I understand her to the full. 99%+ are settling down, going the same way as everyone else. Very few dare or can take the pressure from society to go their own way. Full respect to all that are commited enough to their "hobbies" and dare to live their dreams to the full. Hail!

I agree..you have to live the way YOU want...not the way approved by society..it is YOUR life

I agree to a degree, but I think balance is key. Moderation is a word that comes to mind. Not exactly the Dominion Mandate. To her, climbing is her job, I like to think of a job separate from your life. Just saying... IHO

Wow, just about the entire thing is covered in icefalls Can you say objective hazard?

Bruno, that site is also in Spanish. It's a knee's cruciate ligament injury
