Above the Clouds
Mountains: Infinite freedom. The higher you go, the more you feel like you’re on a completely different planet. Plants grow smaller, sightings of animals courageous enough to brave the altitude become fewer with every step, and the air becomes noticeably cooler, despite the sun shining as clear as you’ve ever seen it. While everything goes on as normal way down on planet Earth, you’re up here—you’re on top of the world. Lakes, paths and huts are barely a mark on the land beneath, while neighboring mountains seem like age-old best friends. And once you reach that sweet spot—the point where you notice the clouds are now dancing gently beneath you—it can only mean one thing: You’ve made it.

How Clouds Form
All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can’t hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.Equipment Basics
