Looking back at Monte Baldo
As the year draws towards its close, the time has come for us to take a look back at some of the places we visited and some of the things we did in 2005. One of the highlights (in every sense) was the ascent in May of the peak known as Cima Valdritta (2,218 metres). It was a day-long endurance test and it was frightening in places because one misstep and blogging would have come to a dramatic end. Half the time, we were plodding through snow; half the time, we were clambering along narrow stony paths. Upon reaching the summit, the sun shone and we swigged from a hip flash filled with Benedictine. It was a blissful moment on Monte Baldo.
