Here I am sitting in sunny Milton Keynes - 87 years old and recovering from a new knee operation, looking at this film and wondering how that I and my wife easily coped with the ladders thirty years ago. In the hut the night before we had been drinking grappa and had asked a Frenchman who had come the other way across the ladders whether we should take the easier variant or use the ladders. His reply was comforting - if you can drink grappa you can do anything.
