"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Obscured by cloudsWasted the opportunity for great views on Kolbenspitze by starting too late from Sterzing. Had to drive across Timmelsjoch to Ulfas, which took forever. While ascending the Upper Ulfasalm Route we realized we wouldn't make it in time for good views since clouds starting piling up. Still climbed to the summit and had to wait for short break in the clouds to look deep down into the Texel Group. Returned via the east ridge.
