13,897. AS I ACED THE MATTERHORN

AS I ACED THE 
MATTERHORN
Fourteen-thousand feet meant
nothing to me. I was a lounge-lizard
atop a very high stage. Drinks in 
hand, everyone else began jumping.
The guidebook said there were bodies
up there  -  climbers who'd fallen or
died in the snow. Left up there?
Ohers buried down below. In
Zematt, I think it was.
-
The Swiss Alps were no fun at all.
Switzerland, or Italy. Right there
it's anyone's call.
