The setting sun picks out incredible detail on the mighty Kampenwand.
We gratefully descend from its magnificent crown of riven limestone rock.
Moving down, we pass over native stone, rich forest and now the verdant mantle of green that cloaks this Alpine bastion.
Each movement is suffused with the glorious bone weary tiredness of the mountain traveller.
The breath is as measured and deep as the tread of each footfall.
We inhale the rich and sustaining Alpine air, it’s sumptuous bouquet energizes body and soul.
Pausing at this high shoulder one sees a masterpiece of Gaia.
Here, now, is sheer livingness and the full joy of being infuses everything it touches.
