steep forest climbs
steep climbs over boulders
shockingly good views of a glacier (pronounced glassier)
amazing views
a crazy descent on a skree slope (that little black dot is Louisa)
a night in a mountain hut with two other couples and more amazing views of the stars
but try as we might to avoid getting wet
and we really did try (we even had one bootless crossing)
we eventually sucked it up (and soaked it up) and jumped right in with our boots on.
Like we said, pretty much everything you could imagine
Amazing terrain!

Looking forward to seeing where you two are off to next.
There was definitely a fall chill in the air, but we had great sun for most of the hike, which helped keep us pretty warm. And no, the boots are still drying. Jon actually rigged an elaborate drying method this morning using the outflow from the campsite dryers! They're still damp, but we probably won't need them for another day or two anyway.
