Howdy All,

Have fun on the Alps High Route.
my last time in Alps...

Bagging another peak over 14,600!!!

would be interesting to compare to PCT hikes...
wonder how much snow is left in the Alps these days?

Tschuss!

Sounds like good times, pi!

My parents took me to Europe when I was 13. We took the cable cars to the Zugspitze and Mount Pilatus. I vowed then that I would return someday to do a REAL hike in the Alps. So here I am, 45 years later...!

Pretty cool, Sally.

My dreams are the JMT and SHR. We'll see.
