To the top.

February 13th was a warm day.  I left Grenoble at 9AM to hike to the top of the mountain that I see everyday from my window. Because I walked the whole way, the trip took 8 hours.

Still in Grenoble



Grenoble is as flat as the beach, this changes quickly considering that we are bordered by mountains. So when the elevation changes... it changes really really fast.

The road leading up started to get steep
