A great picture Peter. There's a certain je ne sais quoi about it - especially as you managed to out-manoeuvre those pesky guides!

Especially as mike had just cursed me as a dangerous b#%^*#d for rapping of a single anchor (huge cemented in bolt), causing me to bite my tongue when I saw what he intended to commit his life to a bit later. A fun day with the crowds!

Also, notice the colour-coordination. It's not what you do or how you do it but how you look while you're doing it

Like many, my first Alpine route. Loved it (not so many guided parties back then). I remember looking over the valley and could not wait to climb on that side.
