In September, a group of five CU alums hiked the “Haute Route” in Switzerland — a 12-day, 112-mile hike from the Chamoix Valley in France to Switzerland’s Zermatt Mountain Resort. The hike included a stop on the Euroweng, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world, to unfurl the CU flag they had carried for 100 miles. “Coincidentally, we even bumped into another Buff alum on the route,” writes Michael Ton (CompSci’12; MS’13). Bruce Deakyne (˛Ń·ˇ˛Ô˛µ°ů’12), Max Bohning (ApMath’12, MEngrMgmt’15), Hannah Steketee (MechEngr’17), and Alex Kessock (Mgmt’15) also participated.
