Lowlight: Being lost on a foggy mountain pass in-between rocks and steep snowfields.
Highlight: Decision to walk around snowfield that looks like it’s overdue to break off in an avalanche.

Highlight: The faint Talisker aftertaste of the water in my new bottle.

Whisky was too cold - photo taken by Kat
