![]() ![]() Braun recalled that the piton came out with “one jerk of my hand.” He later gave the two climbers a souvenir carabiner rope shackle, plated with gold and engraved with the words “Diamond Dave.” Rowell shot 20 rolls of film in “record time” before Roth reattached himself to his rope and climbed to safety. At that moment, Roth found his rock-star attitude, managing to provide “smiles and all in between bouts of shakes and deep breaths.” “Finally, after more bullshit lines, David buys them and gently as hell gets on that thing, shaking like shit, until Galen shoots the camera,” Braun said.
