Around 1911 Blodig was part of a regular mountaineering meeting at Pen-y-Pass in Wales amongst whom was George Mallory.
In 1932, and at the age of 73, Blodig undertook solo ascents of the Aiguille du Jardin and the Grande Rocheuse in order to achieve summits which had subsequently been added to the recognised list of 4000 m peaks since his 1911 achievement [REF].
