May 7, 2013

AlexGAVAN: In the last month I've been torn out to pieces and stretched to the max in a way I would never be able to envision. Puzzle recomposed now.

May 4, 2013

AlexGAVAN: Maybe too much of a line crossing this time. Yet, in tune with myself and with the mountain. That kept me alive. Plus a little bit of faith.

I almost never remember what I dream about. But one bleak snowy night in Manaslu BC, about 4am, I woke up with a voice in my head shouting:

October 7, 2011

Arriving Manaslu Base Camp, September 18th. Topped out at 8156m, October 4th. 17 days. 3 days less than my Makalu-8463m previous record.

October 7, 2011

It was an unusual quite super fast ascent for an 8000m+ peak given the fact I had no previous acclimatisation and used no supplem. oxygen.

October 6, 2011

This expe deliberately taken abstinence from the internet.Left my sattelite modem in Kathmandu. Feeling like on the path to enlightement :)
