2 km from home in Malnisio I noticed a sign for Chiesa Alpini and headed up hill. It’s paved but very steep even on a MTB. At end of pavement there is a flatter fork to the left and very steep gravel to the right. I pushed the bike up this for quite awhile and eventually it became single track, climbing ever more. Decided to return and hike this another day. I rolled back down very gingerly and arrived at the untaken fork. Soon you reach an outdoor church in a grassy glade. Very moving statue of a weary Alpino here. I will return soon.

| The weary Alpino |

| Cold wind blowing his overcoat |

| The altar piece |

| His worn out boots |

| Rifle sling |
 |
| Eyes almost frozen shut from the frigid wind |

| Cao Malnisio |
 |
| Eyes sweeping northeast |
 |
| The climb |
