“A plane! An airplane!!” Stephane shouted. I looked up: nothing to be seen. I could hear the rumbling of a motor, but I couldn’t spot any plane. “No! not up there,” Stephane said “down below!!”. It was our 11th day on the wall, and I was in the middle of redpointing a hard pitch. We were quiet a bit above the glacier and the airplane was flying way below us!! We had been in contact via e-mail with Leo Holding and we knew that him and his English, American, Spanish expedition team were going to fly in to the valley one of these days to airdrop all their gear and food in. We watched the plane in awe as it was dropping barrels with parachutes that were landing on the glacier below. We could barely believe our eyes when we saw the plane turning in the valley! Then all of a sudden the plane started going up and up… and then, when the plane was higher than us, we saw three bodies falling out of the plane!!!! The bodies were flying straight at us!! They kept falling and falling, going straight towards the glacier. “open your bloody chute! Please!” I yelled as I prepared myself to see them splash against the glacier. Not a site I wanted to see. Then all of a sudden to our relief, three chutes opened, and they gently glided to the glacier right at the base of the wall we were hanging on. “yeehaa” they yelled up as we monkey called back down. What an impressive entry!!! We spent 3 weeks getting all the gear and ourselves to the base of this wall, they spent five minutes! We had the perfect seats to that show! It was incredible to watch!
We were leaving the valley as they started climbing up their route. The weather started turning bad. They had some very, very rough conditions.
