While browsing the web on various hiking pages, I came across a few noticeable phrases
like extreme-day hiking and high-altitude hiking. Though an avid hiker myself, I never thought
of or rather got an opportunity to traverse on those lines. So I decided to club them together
and ventured out in summer of
2004 with  a minimalist approach – go early, go light, go fast,
go far, go high and achieve a personal best in one day!

I suitably found my goal around the Valais region of  Swiss alps, a 2-3 hours drive from
Geneva. Being home to several 4000’ers, hiking around them was not only challenging and
stimulating but also an unfathomable intimacy with ecstasy and space!!

The Final liberation - free of body and emotion. It is everywhere and is reflected
in the beauty and unity of life. It is the infinitely good and loving force - the soul.
Wake up and search in heavens seventh direction.
