🎭 this one fits especially well to a #climbinglife pic: „my life will be filled with errors, regrets, and unmet desires; i will never be free from stupidity and pain. perfection is beyond me - as it is beyond all of us.“

👤 „like everyone else, i am weak, mad, and mistaken. it is this brokenness that gives me compassion, and that connects me to every other living being. i know that sharing my vulnerability is the key to true friendship.“
– stolen from: "a manifesto by alain de botton"

🦕 "i am a bundle of atoms on a tiny corner of a cold and boundless universe. in the grand scheme of things, i do not matter one bit. this knowledge brings me not sadness but solace, putting my problems into perspective and liberating me to live how i choose"

🏡 so here i am, amidst the process of writing a few pages on this wooden structure called Totalphütte high up in the Rätikon mountains for @bergwelten mag, due to be printed next summer. the easier exercise is to post a photo with a caption citing an ancient poet or Bukowski talking about reconnection no nature or some other blabla. but hey, that's not my job, dada!

(spoiler: the story will be great anyway because this hut was swept away by a giant avalanche and got rebuilt pretty fast. dig that!)

🌒 the dark side of the #großglockner.

on the glocknerwand traverse, you climb up and abseil down about 11 peaks higher than 3.000m, the teufelshorn pictured being the last and possibly most impressive towers of this endless, high-alpine granite ridge.
