My Grandmother's Sketchbook | Under Mont Blanc

All it took was a few simple sketches from Max Romey's grandmother's sketchbook to lead him on a generational scavenger hunt halfway across the world. His grandmother, Lu, taught him to paint when he was young, and growing up with dyslexia, he found his voice through watercolor. But now the only way to sketch with her again is to find where those sketches were made in a shifting alpine environment. With the help of record-setting alpinist and tenacious plant enthusiast Hillary Gerardi, Max heads from the top of the Aiguille du Midi to the toe of Mer de Glace in search of them. But the lesson they find is far more colorful than any sketchbook could hold.
