Ganesh was the beginning, and it was no coincidence that I tackled it roped to Šrauf. From a certain viewpoint, this was possibly the hardest of all of my expeditions, as it was accompanied by too many blank spots in my knowledge of high-altitude mountains. Annapurna was an unexpected opportunity and my first and only 8000 m peak, which I refused to let slip by. Enough water has passed under the bridge since then; Tone and I can now accept each other's differences. Ama Dablam. A first in climbing a virgin face alpine style. A long lasting taste. Bobaye. A first in climbing a virgin face alpine style solo. I am ready for Nuptse. Nuptse. The Trilogy: Lobuche East, Pomuri and the west face of Nuptse. Joy, pain, a new dimension. The limit? El Capitan. The first "big wall." Veni, vidi, vici; or, the last piece in the mosaic until Dhaulagiri. Dhaulagiri. The thought became reality. The lucky seven was not coincidental. I am thankful for the grace I have been given. Where do I go from here? The common denominator of all my expeditions, adventures and aspirations has been the call of the face.
