ALP11

For years, I’ve had a rather simple idea in my head: to solo a big wall in the pitiless conditions of the Himalayan winter. Over the course of my travels in the Alps, ever since my first encounter with the Himalaya’s high summits, I’ve contemplated the possibility of such a project. In my approach to alpinism, I keep one central thought continually in mind: “Things always appear impossible until you’ve tried them.”
