The name is borrowed from Johnny's favourite Noir Desir song meaning 'As (Life) Comes.' 'Comme Elle Vient' and 'Kapa O Panga' are two of the best ice routes I've climbed in New Zealand. Both are super classic Kiwi water ice routes, and should see some traffic in the coming seasons if they both form. Both solid WI5 by Canadian standards. Johnny and Mal Haskins |
