Dragon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Very good for listening to 'Everything You Do Is a Balloon' by Boards of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest riverofbass Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Congrats. Which road did you take? The so-called "Royal Way" which took us 2 days (the "easiest one"). We slept under a tent at 3,817 m. One of the most memorable moments of my entire life! Very good for listening to 'Everything You Do Is a Balloon' by Boards of Canada. In fact, I had "Macquarie Ridge" in my head once the summit reached. Such a moment of unity and clarity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessier Ashpool Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mont Blanc yet gleams on high:--the power is there, The still and solemn power of many sights, And many sounds, and much of life and death. In the calm darkness of the moonless nights, In the lone glare of day, the snows descend Upon that Mountain; none beholds them there, Nor when the flakes burn in the sinking sun, Or the star-beams dart through them. Winds contend Silently there, and heap the snow with breath Rapid and strong, but silently! Its home The voiceless lightning in these solitudes Keeps innocently, and like vapour broods Over the snow. The secret Strength of things Which governs thought, and to the infinite dome Of Heaven is as a law, inhabits thee! And what were thou, and earth, and stars, and sea, If to the human mind's imaginings Silence and solitude were vacancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
