Hi Anne and John
Congratulations!
Wow, I can't believe you guys have been hanging on a bolt I’ve drilled! A real honour!
I wonder if you knew that the bolts for your first 5-6 belays where placed by a group of 9 HotRock'ers which were trying their hand on big routing in June 2004.
We were trying to do a new route, using a lot of aid + free climbing and learning loads. The weather and lack of experience stopped us approx. half way up at the thin seam. I guess we shouldn't have moved right there.
I'm going to upload a few photos of us and the line of the route to my profile. Have a look.
It's great to see that you have climbed the wall in such good style!
I wonder if the Austrians mentioned in the article where the four who put up camp in the valley when we left? Any more info on them?
Wow, it's bringing back so many memories. Hope you enjoyed the place and people as much as I did.
Please drop us a line if you want to know anymore about what we did up there. Or maybe want to critique our bolting.
Then again you might know about all this.
All the best
Ingo
