A warm July, the concave face acting like a solar oven, and inadequate water supplies made for a notoriously thirsty first ascent. "By the fourth day Yvon had lost so much weight from dehydration that he could lower his climbing knickers without undoing a single button. For the first time in seven years I was able to remove a ring from my finger, and Harding, whose legendary resemblance to the classical conception of Satan, took on an even more gaunt and sinister appearance."
