I've seen that view...

...and blooming amazing to think that little dog got all the way to the top up there!

Re: I've seen that view...

Little indeed! Tschingel was a rather tall dog; during the first attempt to climb Mont Blanc had to stop at the Grand Mulets because of too high snow! Coolidge wrote that she cried for the displeasure of not being able to continue. Years later she succeeded in that ascent climbing with her own paws! What a constancy!
