Rocky section on Tasch-Dom traverse

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Tasch-Dom traverse, Switzerland in 1986. This section of the ridge was like trying to climb near vertical piles of loosely stacked dinner plates - with a 3000ft drop on both sides.

	Hasn't voted	It is an incredible ridge - please see my newly created Route page "Tasch-Dom Traverse"... And yes, 1986 was a good year: we did some fantastic routes of which the Tasch-Dom was the finest. You look to have made a few great climbs yourself! I have seen some of your Eiger postings. Best wishes, Mark

You took this picture in 1986? So it was not with a digital camera? I'm impressed!
Cheers,
Eric

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Eric - again appreciate the comments from so accomplished a photographer as you! Yes, not digital - but quite a good Pentax, back in the days when I still understood a little bit of photography. I often used slide film, which is fortunate since slides (if kept well) seem to convert to digital quite well - as this has done. I guess negatives may have done - but who remembers to keep all their negatives safe over 25 years?! Cheers, Mark
