Pyrenees 7 Gentians

(and pansies.)
Beautiful clear day, no worries about route finding.
Set off before dawn (at least Mrs Hitler let us have breakfast) for the longest (time-wise), hardest and best walk of my life. A long uphill. Over the Molieres col - straightforward scramble but took the group quite a while to get up; I was second in line so had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the views. Then a steady downhill over bare rock then grass. We were all tired from the long walk by then - but had 170m of ascent at the end to the Renclusa refuge, base for Aneto, tomorrow's target.
Started walking 6am, got to Renclusa 7pm.

Large view compulsory!
