"BACKPACKING ALONG THE GIANTS OF THE ALPS"
This is about hiking BELOW, not OVER, Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc, finally crossing from Italy back into France, on parts of the TMB (Tour Mt. Blanc). Story, slides, anecdotes, enthusiasm, - and adjusting to our somewhat advanced age. Will they still make it "Back to Nice", to conclude their "Hike For Your Life" adventure?
