The "sleepover" idea could be the last good thought this fictitionary people would have had.This is not the peak, but we are at over 2000 altitude meters here and this site is very exposed.

I love to paint tracks in the snow and take a photo, but an avalanche can ruin canvass and artists tools in one sweep !

Yeah, yeah, I write my name in the snow too, but I dont call it art.

I love to make nice yellow tracks by having a piss while moving and THEN take pics - honestly, you should try that one and photograph your pants afterwards.

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 08:25 AM

ok I packed the thread with compressed photos that I will slowly replace for high quality ones also pack in some new ones I got 7 rolls on cham total some camera pics and soem video maybe I figure out how to put the video into the thread and photos from it I need a certain cable and write a comment on some but I got better stuff from iceland and some from highlands ca. 100

Hurray !!

I MEAN GO TO THIS PLACE AGAINST MY ADVISE IF YOU GO !

I GOT NO PICS FROM THE INSIDE, BUT I TELL YOU ALL THE SKIERS I MET AT THE OTHER END WHERE WHITE IN TERROR AND THEIR HAIR STOOD UP - PLEASE DON´T DO THIS TRIP !

ONCE YOU GET TO THE SO CALLED ARRETE YOU WILL BE SHOCKED FOR LIFE AND IF YOU GET TO THE FALL, GOD MERCY YOU - EVEN IF YOU GET THROUGH YOU CAN GET A LITTLE TRAUMA HERE FOR LIFE !

THEY PUBLISH NO PICS SO THEY DON´T LOOSE THEIR CUSTOMERS !

Imagine a glacial fissure beiing enclosed by 100 m wall that is 2 m broad and the 2 m you got to ski on going from one iceblock to another 100 times or so - and this thing is bend 70 ° and the ground is no snow, just hard frozen ice with water on it from sun melt !

**A-wreck** · 04-19-2005, 08:43 AM

I can't wait for those pics.

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 09:32 AM

see commentary on the Biglines speed section ...
my Volants Gold Genesis ...
this is first the restaurant then the top of a chair that goes to 2700 - above it Grand Mottet lift - many people died descending it as it passes over crevasses and also many other dangers lurk ...
I took of the gloves made some fast photos in each direction and took off ... just get out of cold, hace range, long distance from teh ground or helis late in the afternoon - I followed a couple ski instructer plus french national youth team I think racing down the hill - get down fast here was the point ...

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 10:03 AM

39008 to 12
38939 to 38944 on bigline

some more from the top then chilling at the restaurant ...
next day in tour I went to far and had a mini heart attack .. as I had gone down and was sitting at the parking lot !

while I was waiting, I took loads of pics including the one with bird ...
I saw two guys doing a litle huck maybe ten meters maybe I have a photo !

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 10:06 AM

take a little break here ... correct above double postings then ..need to train now for my knee ... post more in ca. 2 h ...
1bin2weeks ... just saw them wearing helmet at the speed they went not me though ... stupid ...

**basom** · 04-19-2005, 10:24 AM

i find it hard to imagine that someone actually purchased a pair of genisis golds. increadible.

**phUnk** · 04-19-2005, 10:41 AM

I'm going to go out on a limb and call it now: 0BernhardFranz is killing it.

**Tippster** · 04-19-2005, 10:43 AM

Is it me, or did increased clarity not help these pictures much?

Why is that ? Do you think they ain´t good ? I thought this is a Canadian then American ski if I can get one with the technology advantage over the Europeans.

Any pros or cons on it ?

**basom** · 04-19-2005, 10:57 AM

just the way the ski is marketed over here. it was the same as the genisis last year. except they painted it gold and added 300$ to the sticker price.

its cool if you like them. i have a pair of volants as well. just, a little different kind of volant.

**freshies** · 04-19-2005, 11:49 AM

again, let me state for the record: "BEST DAMN POST,..... EVER!"

I am blown away by this....laughing one moment, crying the next, communing with Jesus...its just all too much.....

**subtle plague** · 04-19-2005, 12:22 PM

who ever is responsible for this:stop it. please !
my life becomes meaningless when im confronted with the acts of god and his prophets.

i spend HOURS (literally) thinking if this is an alias or if there are guys out here in germany who are THAT weird.

**basom** · 04-19-2005, 12:24 PM

ther eare guys all over the world who are that wierd.
in my experience.

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 02:19 PM

I was so scared in the above Valley Blanche, I don´t know how to say it.it isn´t any funny at all.Jong or not, I mean I am just telling you what happened and what I think is the reason for that.I will post some more miracle photos.
I remember climbing at the other side of it.I hike up a mile or less then along this glacier.There is this one thing which is a giant boulder or a surface like the one shown in these pictures that is kind of flattened by the glacier.So I start redpointing this big thing tht is maybe 30 or 50 m and not totally vertical but maybe 80 °.Now when I am at m 49 or so , I runout of strenghth.So I hang there for 1 minute which was maybe the worst in my life imagining how to life as scarface if I survive.Then I manage a double armed pull up on some plate shaped elvation and pull myself up.
Same thing happened in Okinawa on a beach, just that there I did not see the fixed line leading down so I prepared for a down climb or controlled fall/slide over maybe 30 m.Hell , at the last second I saw the line and climbed down.When I was 6 or younger maybe 4 or so I climbed over this 10 cm plank from balcony to my window while we were living 5th floor with solid beton ground , sometimes I just jumped, also to the neighbors balcony.Finally my parents build a mesh around the balcony.I was using it as a normal passage, like n times a day.With 18 month I had managed to be on top of the cupboard at 2 m climbing past a sink.When I went skiing in High Ibrig I met ca. 20 Pastors on the way.
More pics tomorrow as I posted at least 30 today.
I felt like a load of people like me hang out here.So I started Lamb Expeditions with the addition "The Mountain Savety Specialists !"
Where I can, I now try to make the mountains etc. saver !
I will try to paste my route on the Valley Blanche map and the route of the heli.The doods coming out of it where pulling out a little brown glass vial ca 1 cm long with the words d, l, amphetamin on it and slurping it like in the movie where that rescue team in the Himalaya does so.Anyone thinks that this place is any funny is WRONG.JONG.
The UK mountainguide said that I was saved at the very last moment.This was by hairs width she thinks.Maybe she can judge that.I think I could have gone on at least 5 more yards till evening.I was at the right side of the XXXXXXXXX line you see at the tip and went up all the way with ca. 100 kg total weight to the wide blue zone connecting the island of rock rightways with the other side or I did not get down that far initially, but at that realtivly flattest spot roter roosters where finally deciding to pull down and me up in the heli.Heeellli !

You know, they may administer dl-amphetamin to anyone doing this, I dont know, without it it may be suicide.so if you think you looked into the wonderful wide open blue eyes of a yodeling alpenmadel and thought you found the pastoral tranquility of an Alpendorf, there maybe a different reason for this, more like an amphetamine dose applied by the French military or some doctor to make people survive this mission.So as this doode had it , if you don´t ( guess some docs prescribe it for this stuff like they did for bomber pilots going to the Falklands and back ) you may anyhow end up dead in this maze.If you ask the woman I saw in full body gypsum as she probably dropped in a fissure at the maze the glacial fall builds if she finds Chamonix AMAZing, you may get a disgrunteling answer !
So I would then reply.Bon-Mot ! She hasn´t even explored the maze UNDER the glacier where lakes and rivers and tunnels of fresh mountainwater can carry you ANYWHERE ! So how can she judge ... so much more so I can , beeing the proud owner of a a little but surprisingly eloquent book on mazes issued by a renowned English publisher - now don´t flame me, even if all this would have gone up in flames, nearly.

people in germany are that weird, but this smacks of some jerk off who is super bored and really strange.

**0BernhardFranz** · 04-19-2005, 02:31 PM

I will later pave this thread road with pictures and text about skiing.I hope everyone noticed all the photos I pasted in later on top - Every post of mine has or will get a photo and some skiing etc. info .They get replaced with better quality ones, but same topic, photo etc. Much work ... they start in the order shot mostly.To really get this perfect, I should have one tripreport written and all photos films atached in the right places.So it is chronologicall y imperfect, but also interesting.

See, here we got a little miracle.I type in imperfect, and right before it I made a typo ! That can´t be a chance ? I would not think so ...
Now let´s have one peanut and use the backpack to explore other cultures for some sandwiches (100 ) or so and smack on about this important gag amnesty vs. the games smack ! This post below is like a crevasse swallowing the blind leaving a better audience behind.Maybe somebody is going to place - speaking philosophically like Magnum P.I. - a baseball into a mounded hill marking the top of Everest someday traiting the country I decided to live in for some years so shallowly and the stars are on it then as they are anyhow very close to you on that big cold land structure with teh rare property of fullfilling alt x = max alt ( gmoe ) or altitude of X is maximum of altitude of the group mountains on earth which is a good place for the Angel Michael as He is an Angel , simply.
