Not only for me, but also, sooner or late for other mountaineers, the moment arrives when you think of nothing except the thrill of finding yourself alone on a mountain hanging on nothing enjoying the emptiness below. We think we're immortal, without any fear. But at a certain point this period comes to an end and we realize that it's time to change otherwise, sooner or later it'll be too late.
In these moments it's difficult to remember to take a photo, we're too engrossed in our thoughts... we keep those images secret... and maybe it's right that we do.
