"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

A fine mountainMy second 4000m summit, climbed in high winds & blown spin-drift. Very spectacular at the summit, albeit somewhat cold.
