Me in the Refugio Whymper at the 5000m above the sea level. So anyone watching this photo in Europe - I'm looking at you from above - the highest peak Mont Blanc is just over 4800m. (chimborazo, EC)

This is the highest I've ever been while still standing on the ground. Probably this will remain the highest for a while, as I don't have much passion for alpinism...

In the right you can see some locos climbing the rock. They better be in food fit for this kind of exercise without gear and in this altitude.
