"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Long dayAfter the climb the previous day of Belloc-Spijeoles-Gourdon, we begined a little tireds in Refuge du Portillon. The climb of first peak of the day, Lézat, was a little hard (we reached an Aiguille of the ridge climbing the summit across some sections of P.D. by mistake, when normallly is F.sup in left side). We descended the spun N.E. of Lézat to border Quayrat to get the entry of the route from Refuge de Maupas and we climbed the ridge North (normal) of Quayrat (P.D.inf). It's a long way to the summit. We used the normal route to Refuge d'Espingo to descend.
