David Leading the High Traverse, on which I Fell

This is the last of 16 pitches. We are now a long way above the glacier, in the steepest section of rock. This is where I fell, when following the section in the foreground, and was knocked unconscious.

Hanging by a Thread

This photo was taken the morning after the climb and shows the state of the rope that, though well shredded, held my fall. Sobering.
