"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

NW-faceWe started the climb at the campsite in Pont and climbed the face on a long beautiful day. Blank ice the whole face, not very hard, but a bit loose. Due to the easy descent a perfect climb. The normalroute was overcrowded!
