27.17 Pic Tristaina, a personal highlight for us as we go a little outside the comfort zone.
'Let's fill that bowl'. A view from Pic Tristaina, an almost out of world experience. We seldom see cloud covering of this nature in Andorra but frequently in France. Geographically, they are the same place. Our first peek from the peak into Franca, a confrontation more than a view. (Estany Fourcat, France) Returning from the peak with 'mucho' caution.
