Freezing Cloud Camping in the Mountains

​It was the day after I’d had a tent break in the wind, and I returned to the same area with a very similar forecast, this time armed with my Hille. Typically, the wind died down and there was no need for such a hardcore tent, but I was unexpectedly treated to one of the most beautiful camps!

I pitched on an open, rock-scattered plateau up at 400 metres. The stars came out during the cold night, I slept deeply and I unzipped the tent in the morning to see clouds flowing down the nearby cliffs, billowing out into the open expanse behind me

The waves flowed for hours and were absolutely mesmerising. It was like a giant waterfall, but made of cloud. A cloudfall. I’ll never forget it
