The Summit
The rifugio on the summit came into view at about 2pm. It was, to say the
very least, basic but people were sitting on the benches outside drinking
beer and cups of coffee. How on earth the rigfugio received its deliveries,
unless by helicopter, I do not know.
Time for an overdue lunch sitting a few metres short of the summit. I was
suffering from the lack of oxygen at this height and feeling quite queasy.
I drank some orange juice and forced down a sandwich and a Kitkat. Everyone
was now departing and we realised that in order to catch the last cable
‘basket’ we needed to make a move.
