The climb to Colle di Pinter at 2777m was long and steep in parts. There was a lovely view of the Alps and Monte Rosa. I made friends again during climbing to the pass, this time with Gianni and his eight-year old son Pietro. They were on a day tour from Gressoney to the pass and back. We walked together for a bit and then I took a long break with them at the pass. Gianni turned out to be a lover of Germany and was very friendly.
