"Art is not about abstraction or ultimate issues or infinity or eternity. Art is about buttons."
Idris Parry. In: Alfred Andersch, Mein Verschwinden in Providence. Zürich, Diogenes, 1971.
ALTERNATIVE TRAIL:
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY ISOLATED STRETCH OF 10-12 DAYS.
THERE ARE FEW SETTLEMENTS AND THE ROUTE CROSSES
THE KIANG AND KAMBA LA PASSES AS WELL
AS A NUMBER OF RIVERS.
SPRING AND AUTUMN ARE THEREFORE GOOD TIMES
TO UNDERTAKE THIS DIFFICULT WALK.
SUMMER IS PROBLEMATIC;
THIS IS THE TIME WHEN RIVERS ARE THE MOST SWOLLEN.
