Old School

I met this gentleman while hiking across the Col de Torrent last week. He was extremely nice and had just come down from Basel for a day hike. He was about 4800 ft. into his climb by this point and actually continued to climb higher after he reached the top of the pass. His pack, and most of what was left of his clothing, dated back to World War II. Nice.
