Made it to the Hilary Step 600 from the top. Caught in a whiteout storm. It was something I wouldnt wish on anybody, Dug in for a day then came down, the Party in front was never seen again we were Lucky, its a different world above 27,000 ft and rather cold got to keep the liqiuds going in. If the wife can get Hold of the book on the 1st accent of the Frenny Pillar on Mt Blanc get it it will shock Her, think its Rebuffays account 6 got the chop on that Hair raising stuff forget the Title do a bit of checking. There was a lot of scandell after people throwing the blame about. To be Honest I havent read it but loads of people who have reccomend it, I just heard rumours from the climbing fraternaty at the time and it splitt the community of Climbing at the time. There was some strange storys doing the rounds.
