Leysin->Tour d'Ai



A hard hike over snow. I wanted to reach the two towers on the far side. One option was to climb to the top of the hill I was on and continue left, then go around the towers.

The other option was to go back down and approach from the right, taking the easy trail that led between the two towers.

As it were, I tried to climb the mountain I was on from the wrong side and ended up stranded on a mountain crag, only 200m away from the real peak, but separated from it by a 50m-deep gorge. In the end I turned back.
