Just an interesting? historical snapshot. We were training for a trip to Norway, climbing in big boots, and carrying a sack (carried by whoever was seconding)

John Roberts took me up Original route in 1961, over the next few years I took 3 others up the route. It wasn't until I saw a pic in a much later guide that I realized it was the Rampart and not Original. If every few years these each take someone new by now there could be thousands who think Rampart is th Original routs!!!
