And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Those two look like they just got out of their sensible small car and started walking. They don't look dressed for that country.
I live local to a national park, sometimes I putt-putt around to my favorite spots with a cup of coffee and flip flops because… well because I can. I’m sure all out of state vacationers, campers, and general non locals look at me with crazy eyes.
I agree. It looks like the summit block of the Matterhorn. The north face is on the right, the climbers are on the Hornli ridge. 150 people go up it a day in the summer season. It's the first ascent route. With the shown weather conditions, I reckon there's less people that day.
That photo got people worked up because the chicks seem ... oddly dressed for their position on the mountain. You can see in the foreground snow the footprints and rope-worn grooves of the climbers going up and down the mountain. I might have expected the ladies to be wearing crampons, and carrying ice axes, and wearing climbing harnesses. They seem to be outfitted for a country-stroll photoshoot. Not having personally climbed the Hornli Ridge route, they seem to be about 3/4 of the way up the ridge, so they at least had to do easy 5th class roped climbing, even if there are fixed ropes at the difficult spots for all the tourists on the route.
The lengths "influencers" will go to for the pic, sometimes boggles the mind.

DeleteMeh, what's the worst that could happen????
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of the idiots in Yellowstone who thinks it's a good idea to try and pet a bison.
ReplyDeleteThere is a road and parking lot within 1500’ of those girls. Ones carrying a purse.

Their GPS said there’s frogurt shop at the summit.
DeleteI don't have clothes for that country either & you definitely won't find me there.
ReplyDeleteFAFO. Looks more like they are climbing the scale.

ReplyDeletePhotoshopped??? That's the Matterhorn.
ReplyDeleteBut if they had freckles, they would be making a glorious transit...
