About high peaks, cliffhanger, hikes & other climbing work
I don't know exactly what it is but I have a thing for mountains. A very long time ago, in another life, when I was still young and handsome, I crossed many European mountain massifs.

Today I am only handsome (5555) and only the beautiful memories that I can cherish.
