'...Jean-Christophe Lafaille High-altitude mountaineer who repeatedly cheated death on his ever more audacious climbs Jean-Christophe Lafaille, mountaineer: born Gap, France 31 March 1965; married (one son, one daughter); died Makalu, Nepal c27 January 2006. On 31 January, when Jean-Christophe Lafaille had been missing for a week, his base-camp support team concluded that he must have perished in his attempt to make the first solo winter climb of an 8,000-metre mountain, the 8,485m Himalayan peak Makalu. Last Saturday his wife flew over the mountain by helicopter and confirmed that there was no longer any hope that he would be found alive...' +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------------------- JCL on drytooling ... '...I also adore the beauty of the lines of ice which stretch along the Alpine or Himalayan rock faces. These imposing or ephemeral frozen pathways take me today up to the highest summits of the Himalayas where I am at my happiest. More recently I’ve discovered dry tooling. This hybrid sport has been a revelation for me and a fantastic bridge between the winter world of ice climbing and sport climbing. I’ve rediscovered everything I love in climbing: physical barriers, the continuity of effort with the possibility of continuing until one falls which contrasts with the essence of ice climbing. I love being able to switch between ice and rock and I’ve always loved athletic climbs which go up impressive overhangs; dry tooling gives me all of that!...' -------------------------------------------------
