A worthy effort I'm sure. I'd check the link, but my Slovenian is limited to Pivo, Prossim, and Nasdravy...
Cheers,
Nik

It's good to see the Muggs Stump Awards going to good use! Steve House is badass.

Great job! House is one of the leading alpinists out there and am sure there is more to come from him.
Well done - hats off!
