To stand upon such a summit; quietly, resolutely, calmly. Listening by oneself, to our most inner adventure selves... On our own, yet never alone. Gazing out before us, upon a sea of summits, and wonderful experiences too... To rest upon a summit in this way, to begin to know our mountain, so very personally and closely, is to touch the hidden and elusive, the most ephemeral, the very enduring, the truly elemental. Upon such a summit, simply by oneself..... DSD
Just feeling quite grateful on this weekend of appreciation. Thanks to our Dolomite wanderers for the above image.

Having stood at many summits, I can say your words ring true. It is always special. Often the summits fought for are most rewarding. The sun, the cool breeze, the achievement, tired muscles combine with spectacular visuals to create an indelible moment. A lasting bond with a climbing partner that can never be taken away or repeated.
They are the most rewarding arne't they Barry. Well said...
