Chamonix and the surrounding terrain looks like a wonderful place

I cannot fathom the place you and Beat explore. The pictures are mind blowing. And that ridge?! Even as a former rock climber that exposure is intimidating to me and that’s saying something! So glad you had a whirlwind and happy trip

If you have a chance to visit the Alps, I highly recommend it. There’s so much beauty, and some of the most incredible mountain scenery is accessible to anyone. Let me know when you want to go, I’ll join! :)

Also, you aren’t a former rock climber, you *are* a rock climber. Cancer cannot take that away from you.

Wow. I have not heard of this event. Thank you for sharing your story of his feat and your photos were mind-boggling.

Love that Beat has a Mt. Diablo marathon t-shirt on. I've spent a fair amount of time riding and hiking on that mountain.

The shirt is from 2008, and it is well-worn. I find it endearing that it’s become his lucky race shirt.
