25th Graz Mountain Film Festival

 Busy setting up for the 2th Film festival here at Graz, Austria and  met my good pal Robert Schauer who I last saw him at  Latok in Pakistan so many years ago. Its great to see him again .
Mountain Equipment have a stand  here and  Doug speaks this afternoon and we all join in on discussion  on the subject of ' Modern achievements in the world of sacred mountains vs commercialism' which  hopefully will provoke some thoughts!
I lecture tomorrow  on our ascent of the Mazino Ridge and  highlight  some events of the Piolet d'Or.
