I'd wanted to do a solo ice climbing trip for a few years now. A trip on which I would climb something big, but not too hard, and nothing that would make me perspire too heavily. For when I came down again, and the film crews all wanted a piece of me, I couldn't look all shiny. My fans deserve better.
