Descending South Twin

Grey limestone or ruddy granite, ice fo the gully or the serac,
blown snow or snowy cornice, smell of rock, scent of flowers,
delicate saxifrage or sub-Himalayan forest, starlight or storms,
sun-scorched terrace, unreal frontiers,
friendship between two beings for better or for worse
- to these do we belong."
