You don't have to be an armchair mountaineer to find the history exciting! But no matter how old *you* get Borut, I am thinking of you as someone eager to get out and solo crumbly rock in the moonlight. :) You actually do it too. :D
And just one tip, Michael. When inserting a left aligned picture, you may want to hit after the end of its code SHIFT+ENTER. So, you get rid of that one line, running above the picture. See the difference between picture 1 (where I did it) and picture 2.
Hi Vid, thanks for the info! For some reason I had a hard time seeing the difference at first but now I do. I'll watch for that issue (as I tend to accumulate too many spaces between paragraphs as I wander around inserting pictures).
This is how route pages should be made. You and Dow Williams are truly the masters of route pages, Michael. Well done; this one's going on my life list.
Wow thanks Timmy! Naw, Dow's pages are a lot better. Since we were two guys with cameras, we did get more pictures than I usually get though, and that helped a lot.
Great page of a great classic route! The shot of the crux "Quergang" is the best depiction of that that I´ve seen.
Dülfer was the man! Shame that he died so early!
Cheers

I know...he was a music student, and only climbed hard for 5 years. If he had survived the war, then the history of rock climbing would have a much sharper curve in the 1920s, I think.
