Namaste VF,
Your are caught on film.
You are probably caught more often but this was the first time i saw you on Dutch television.
On Boxing day there was a documentary about some Dutch climbers trying to conquer the Cho Oyu.
As a side step about the dangers to which also the sherpas are exposed there was a clipping from ABC news about the 12 sherpas who died 18 April.
This clipping starts from about 6:00 and features a shot with VF in the 350.
This is the online link. I do not know if you can view this from outside Holland.
(I often cannot open links to BBC online, so there might be a limitation on this as well)

I wish to express my appreciation to those that have posted their photos in this thread. They are almost without exception stunning examples of fantastic operations at the edge of the performance envelope.
Well done, and thank you!
