I have read your trip report several times over the last 3 years and it's still the most intense, real life feeling story here on SP that I have read to date. Your history of climbing is one of my favorites, because you are a true Alpinist in the great tradition.
Although I am not an Alpinist, I am humbled by your story and thank you for sharing, including your massive collection of photos... truly a life's work.
Thank you very much!

Billy! Thank you for your extremely nice comment on my trip to the Eiger many, many years ago. Today with 81 years I am glad I am not undergoing such a torture as described.
