"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Forno KanteYou certainly will be alone, high above Forno glacier. Only 3 old pitons in the whole face. Some pitches are hard to protect. Bring mid / large sized camalots. There is now a stopper behind a flake in one of the harder pitches - I was unable the remove it :-)

Route Climbed: North Ridge Date Climbed: 12 August 1993Climbed with Moni in deteriorating weather that remained good long enough for us to complete the climb and stay dry. Descent via the South Ridge making a nice traverse of the peak.
