For a superb overview of the history of ice and mixed climbing in the Alps you need look no further than Mountain #27 May 1973. My thoughts are on ice...
On Les Droites. Heli Wagner photo.
Much more to follow from this superb edition of Mountain!
Happy New Year and Ice, Fat As You Like!

This was definitely the stuff of dreams growing up in my little desert town!
You look at the whole array of possibilities and guys like Willo Welzenbach really shine with respect to their eye for a classical line and ability to get it done very early on.

Hey Steve,
The Monch was so cool. We climbed it in Mid September and were the only ones at the Gugi hut and on route.The Ice boss was great three low angle ice pitchs and two steeper pitchs then a 1800' 40 degree ice slope above.The most dangerous part was Helga at the hut on the back side.

With a name like Helga you need to ask? Guess you haven't seen much Wagner.
So, Stevie, when ya gonna do an homage to Kurt Diemburger? These shots bring him to mind.
Dood gave the best slide show I've ever seen. The photography was superb
and the poetry dripped from his lips. Obviously, I'm not of his ilk.
