A lot of writing - this might develop into a useful resourse, especially to climbers traveling to Europe (perhaps add material from your earlier rc.com reports?). Indeed, the Yosemite account seems to be written with usefulness in mind - with practical advice etc. In your European reports the info is much more sketchy (e.g. Presles - where is it on the map, how to get there, how tall, what type of climbs, where to sleep?). On the Nose - I guess one useful thing would be a comment on the general plan of the ascent. Your first two bivies where not in good places - was it a planning mistake (apparently you didn't fix ropes to the Sicle ledge the day before as most people do?) or where you prepared to sleep wherever, having a portaledge?
