What to do for a 60th birthday?
It's still 23 months away, but I find myself thinking, so what should I set my sights on? Of course, partners are the critically important piece, and so I need to start laying the groundwork. My mind runs naturally to three or four possibilities: Alaska (west ridge of Hunter), Cordillera Blanca (west face of Tocllaraju), Chamonix (Frendo Spur or some ice in the Argentiere valley), or the Sierras (traverse of the sawtooths). In the next 23 months I will occasionally mull it over with some pictures attached, the ones above are from Chamonix, and they feature two places I have already been ... The Chere couloir and the Col de la Brenva.
