A few nights ago I was staying in a mountain hut in Tyrol before a day of easy climbing and thought a great way to make conversation with one of the guides I was with would be asking him to tell me about his "most extreme" mountain experience.
What followed next was a gripping story of spending over 20 hours on the north face of the Weisshorn with a client, being caught in an unforecasted snow storm, and trying to ring his Mum and wife to say goodbye to them but dropping his phone because his fingers were frozen. They summited and made it back down without assistance but needed hospital treatment for dehydration and exhaustion.
Now I know why his wife is so happy that he is spending time with me doing baby stuff!
