"Pointing The Way..."

Have you seen the "Google Doodle" today my Friends?
It commemorates an historic First Ascent.
Some say that Balmat & Paccard, pictured in the statue above, birthed mountaineering.
Pointed the way, if you will.
Most will agree that they indeed 'kindled a spirit of adventure' that we who wander high embrace to this very day.
The interesting fact that small rocks and crystals were inherently involved only makes me smile all the more..... DSD
