		<description><![CDATA[I have just come back from a two-day ridge traverse in the Alps of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and I think it was one of the most beautiful but &#8211; apart from Everest &#8211; one of the most daring things I have ever done.

However, one of the sad events was the death of Mick Parker, a fine Australian climber and friend of mine.
