Cosmic Frogs near Piz Boe

Recently Sharas decided to join our club and we somehow had to test him. It isn't about testing if he is strong enough, but more if his soul is pure enough to join Silelis. So we took him onto survival trip, to see if he survives. We had been thinking - if he survives, then we admit him into the club. If no, then nobody to admit - no man, no trouble so to say.
We took him to ferrata Cesare Piazzetta rated 5C out of 5C (scale 1-5, A-C). The challenges he faced were:
*He had broken his leg in winter
*It was his first ferrata
*Scary moving bridge without wood plates (he almost failed there)
*Headache from lack of oxygen at 3152m altitude
*It was very cold to sleep in 2800m altitude
*Cosmic frog was attacking the tents and disturbing the sleep
*No ketchup, only mayonnaise (I almost did not survive this myself)

So we put him in a very sticky situation as you see, and he survived! Congratulations to our new member!
