 On a gray morning we arrive at Champex Lac. |
 But soon we leave the clouds below us. |
 Mountain tips are swimming like island on the clouds. |
 A steep climb in front of us, |
 and we are beeing watched. |
 The clouds treaten to overtake us once in a while. |
 The glacier of Orny at 2800m elevation. |
 The group is spreading out. |
 Soon hammering sounds from the rock face. |
 And the first cristals are discovered. |
 Raphael shows us how it is done. |
 A small cluster of cristals. |
 The more difficult the place, the more likely you find cristals. |
 The cabane of Orny with its little lake below. Here we spend the night. |
 A little rest with Raymond Simecek (he counts 80 years), contemplating the glacier. |
 While we enjoy the sunset one of us is still hammering in the background wall. |
 Next morning a coudless sky is greeting us. |
 |
 In a rock desert |
 you still find life. |
 The portal of the glacier of Orny, hidden under the rocks he carries down the mountain. |
