(...)Though we climbed in the area that had been climbed in before, we did not know it. Also, we did not expect such difficulties. Having surmounted them, we realized that the ascent route was too demanding to descent without rope. We had to descent a different route.

The ascent of Torre Egger was for sure the hardest and most dangerous alpine climbing of my life. No placements… at midnight… in a snowstorm. The last 100 feet was rime ice with no gear. It was so intense I didn’t even turn my headtorch on. |

Most of all it is a great line on the central part of Misja Peè which has a great name. The name of the route is very important to me, and Vizija somehow sounds optimistic for my future climbing. |

For me, free soloing is a way to live fervently, to discover another part of the diverse terrain of emotions, of mental and phisical capabilities, that forms the landscape of human experience. |
