HISTORY OF THE ROUTE

✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤




Well, let me tell you about this crazy hike I did with my wife in Austria. I thought it would be a great idea to take the toughest route up this peak, and I was so proud of myself for making it to the top. But my poor wife was not amused. In fact, I'm pretty sure she almost divorced me on the spot.




I mean, I had a blast scrambling up the rocks and feeling like a mountain goat, but my wife was not exactly having the time of her life. She kept muttering something about "never trusting my judgment again" and "why can't we just take the gondola like normal people?"



via GIPHY




Looking back, I can see why she wasn't too thrilled about the whole thing. But hey, at least we have a good story to tell now. And who knows, maybe one day she'll forgive me for almost ruining our marriage with a silly little hike.

    Después de casi 18 km y unos 1.100 metros de desnivel positivo, el divorcio me parece poco. Creo que tu mujer debería haberte puesto una demanda al volver a Barcelona 😂. Todavía debe tener ampollas en los pies 🤦
    Por lo demás, preciosa ruta.
    Salut i una abraçada !
