Today we enter door number five, and into a cup of good coffee we dive..

A adventure tour without coffee it like a adventure without mountains. After a attempt to reach teh summit of Mont Blanc 2005, we got stucked in a thunderstorm. We just have to wait the storm out and then go down. After a cold windy night, we left the lift in Les Houches, and went to the first bar in place. The waitress looked at us, rekognise the bristles in our faces and our hollow-eyed glance and asked -petit dèjeuner? The answer come straight ahed -oui. That coffee was the best in the world at the time.

The best coffee ever (at the time) in Les Houches.

The coffee as well got the advantage that it is mild laxative. Which can be very good in the field…

I as well use the coffee break as a trigger for getting the mountain feeling:-) Today there is a lot of option how to handle the coffee. Brewers cup, portable espresso makers etc. And as well GSI outdoor has make a Perculator brewer for field use, nice:-)

The training follows the plan, and tomoorow it will be time for lugging the whell at 05,00…

Those who gives up, never winns. A winner never gives up…
