Drinking with Linda & friends after climbing.

After the boulder open competition, a bunch of folks retired to Judit & Bertil for a few celebratory beers. Linda and her friends Anna and Carolina came too, and I felt damned lucky to be in the company of such lovely and charming women. Here are twenty-two photos of the night’s revelry.

Linda’s off to warmer waters this week for a scuba-diving vacation, and I would be jealous if not for the fact that I’m bound for Andermatt in the Swiss Alps in less than a week. I haven’t been skiing in the Alps since I visited Andrea in the winter more than a decade and a half ago. It should be exciting!
