Fantastic that they stuck to a commitment to do the route in such good style. The decision to separate towards the end must have been a difficult one - the final section looks much tougher than they describe! Incredible stuff, and great pictures. Thanks to the protagonists for sharing.

Fantastic photos. Is this the 'normal route' to the summit?

I really enjoyed the whole package. I am very impressed by the guys' ethics.
What a great trip.

Dear Philippe and Jean-Marc,

Thank you for a very enjoyable read - and the beautyfull photos and video!
Good effort and style.

And it all comes back: Did the same route in Nov 1988, also in alpine style. Only difference was that we were totally alone on the ridge and mountain! All details are locked in memory - and recognizable: The slabs, the Yellow tower, the exposed camp on the tower, all!

Well, I shouldn't take focus away from the good article of Philippe and Jean-Marc.
But I cannot resist the temptation of throwing my short report from our 1988 climb into the thread...
