The files.

North Africa’s highest point taken the quiet way — over the Tizi n’Mzik and through the Azzaden valley rather than up the mule track. Snow holds on the summit ridge into late autumn; crampons are issued at the refuge.

Kazbek climbed from the Gergeti side, based at the old meteorological station at 3653 metres. Two acclimatisation rotations are logged before the summit day; the church at Tsminda Sameba watches the walk-in.

A ski traverse of the Lyngen peninsula with summits taken as the weather file allows, Jiehkkevárri the standing objective. Fjord to fjord; the sea never leaves the frame.

The Trois Monts line — Tacul, Maudit, Mont Blanc — in a single early start from the Cosmiques hut. Harder and quieter than the Goûter; the archive prefers it that way.

The southwest face holds fifty-five degree fluted ice for four hundred metres, approached through the Santa Cruz valley. The acclimatisation ledger is long before anyone touches the face.

A quiet six-thousander above the Gokyo trail, climbed by its southwest ridge in the post-monsoon window. Mixed ground from the high camp; one guide, one climber, one rope.
