The photo to the left shows the massive cornice during one of those rare moments it was visible. The one to the right shows what the norm was during my climb.

Sounds brutal

But I'm sure glad it's over, and you have done it in full condition.
Nice computer work on the two photos.

Re: Sounds brutal

Thanks.
I must admit I actually like that kind of climbs. When nature is throwing its rage in your face and you have to fight a bit. Sunshine climbs are also nice, but in another way and they don't have...how to say...that special edge which I like so much.

Re: Sounds brutal

That's me talking about thirty years ago. So many times I made sure that I would end up suffering. You know what I'm talking about.

I like that sentence (So many times...). Gives it another dimension for sure. That's also the times you feel so good after coming back down again.
