Split decision

On the rocks: The tale of one prof. and the Alps

Four in the morning bedtimes are more relevant to most Hoyas than 4 a.m. wake-ups. Such an early rise can be exhilarating, though, granted you have a helmet, headlamp, ropes, crampons, a bag filled with more equipment and a mountain to conquer.
