True, although i guess in one's mind there is always the hope to be writing one of those succesful heroic stories once you get back home... :-)
Thank you for your comment
Every climber has a story like this. Good to be reminded of the early days...also good to start when you are young and have the bullheadedness to persevere after such debacles! Better luck next time, as they say!
I wrote this the evening after it happened, but i wasn't sure i should submit it to sp. On one side it's not fun to let your defeats be publicly seen, and on the other hand, there is the risk of appearing like someone that thinks every little scratch they they get is so important that everyone should know...
But then i decided that as i felt it was an important experience for me, i would let it be public, more to have feedback from those who had similar experiences than to give information.
Thank you for your comment.

ago vigliaccoProbably there will be more useful this experience that many others, although they will be more satisfying ...

At least you are backPeople learn a lot more from trip reports about failures, than they do from heroically recounted tales. Thanks.
