Photos by @tommy.heinrich // As we arrived at Cholatse's Base Camp in October 1993, I developed a bronchitis that worsened at high altitude so I decided to rest while my teammates continued their climb. Once recovered 6 days after their departure, I was left with a difficult decision, either to return home without doing an attempt, or a Solo Ascent. I chose the last and set off after leaving a note in my tent asking my teammates to go home if I did not return in three days.

Steep, Unforgiving and Intimidating…. following my teams route, I climbed unroped, fast and committed; and on October 23rd reached the knife-blade summit that dropped almost vertically 13,000 feet to either side.

In the photo taken by Ed Webster; climbing alone… like a tiny pinprick on the ramp leading to the sky, I felt Insignificant…. in awe with the grandeur and majesty of the mountains embracing me. And in the Selfie, the ridge reflected in my sunglasses became the testimony of the summit I had reached. I learned a lot while overcoming unexpected obstacles but more importantly, I learned a so Much More while overcoming my Fears.
