| Choosing the route up a peak in the star-studded purple of dawn, glissading down a sun- washed snowfield for hours on a bluebird day, setting up tents in a whirlwind of flapping nylon as the gusts pick up before a storm and then curling up in a sleeping bag as the lightning flashes white and orange on the stony peaks above: exhilarating.
