"This largely unknown, elusive, barely pronounceable mountain of uncertain altitude boasts on its southern flanks a huge spectacular, visually formidable (and consequently tantalizingly attractive) mountain wall over two and a half kilometres high and twice as broad - an unclimbed, unvisited Alpine playground. To climb it became an ambition, but not just to climb it, we had to make the ascent with style, as light, as fast, as uncluttered as we dared, free from umbilical cords and logistics, with none of the traditional trappings of a Himalayan climb. The wall was the ambition, the style became the obsession." - Alex MacIntyre. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 217326
