Sometimes Unity I do not agree with you, but here I totally agree,
Here is a link to the hut where I used to go. It had a huge rock on top of the shelter so it was named Couvercle which means Lid ... I remember sleeping there on wood bunk beds in one room. I bet it didn't smell nice but I was like 13 or 14 and so eager to go on my next climb. We would wake up at 3:30 am and start a slow walk with flashlights and climb so we would reach a summit for sunrise. There is nothing like rock climbing. We would drink tea from tin flacks and eat prunes and keep sucking at the pit for some time because it was supposed to take away thirst. On the summit if we could all stand we would all drink the rest of the tea and eat dry meat. Then we would descend, still roped, and then unrope, and in the end we would be on small mountain paths, walking fast in our boots hitting the dry ground and talking and laughing about the climb. Best memories.
Now, because of the change in temperature, some of those peaks are losing slabs of rocks which were held by ice. Another world.
