I've been on small exposed summits like this before, but they weren't 8,000' up with views of even higher peaks, glaciers, and alpine lakes. When I spotted a little red dot down in the valley (our tent), I realized this was visible from the campsite. Later that evening I couldn't stop looking up in wonder with a grin on my face, staring at a tiny sliver high up, where the mountains met the sky. --thanks to Bellaitalia for a great shot.

Right after rapping down from the Fiamma(flame) of Albigna, we looked out and saw this rainbow arching over the valley below.

The top of the Spazzacaldeira called Fiamma (italian for 'flame') because of it's sharp shape. The top is graded 5c+. Photo by Jelle Uenk

Looking down over the Albigna Hut in Switzerland.

The view down into the valley from Fiamma.

Way too thin! Wonder how long before it breaks.
