Without a doubt, today was one of the most special and beautiful days of my life. I climbed from the Le Grave side, passing Lautaret and catching sight of Galibier, then descended toward Les Karellis along the mountain slope. Riding along the upper side of the Télégraphe, I made my way to Karellis through boulders as large as my body. I tackled Galibier from its easier side, but it was still breathtaking. For us mortals, this place is a land of pain and awe — a raw reminder of life itself. I’ve made a promise to return and climb it from the harder side.
