Way to go! Go get it, David & Co! By the way, David, I still wear parts of my yellow/red/purple Hunza Peak outfit sometimes...
ReplyDeleteWhile you guys go do some hard-core alpinism, I, as a family man, will settle for a two week solo trek on Corsica's GR20 in June.
Let's all get back safe!

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you trying to climb the compact and loose marble of that beautiful mountain. or do I?
The last postcard from Daniel on K2 in that sad summer of 1993 mentioned the G4...
It's really good to see that you can get back in shape after such a long period of no climbing.
Have fun!
By the way David or Erik, I think I still have a couple of mags of slides from your Pakistan adventure. Anyone missing?
