"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."

Final highpointOh what a day! Started from Wolkenstein by climbing Expresssteig to Monte Stevia, then headed up the protected west face of Col de la Pieres, down to Forca Sielles, on to Sella Nivea and on to Piz Duleda. One of the best days I ever spent in the mountains, barely a cloud to be seen and those which appeared seemed to be for decoration purposes only. Upon returning I came across a meadow with so many orchids (literally tens of thousands) I have never seen before.
