Write Up:We started off with a gentle stroll through a golden forest for about
1km and then it got steep. The trail was well packed and had a few
patches of mud and snow. We hiked for about 2.5 hours before we
stopped for a snack break to enjoy the view and the larch forest. The
wind picked up shortly thereafter and we found a boulder field for our
lunch break to shelter from the wind. After lunch we made our way
through the boulder field and hiked along some huge rock formations.
We had a short scramble and then we made our way up the even steeper
incline to the false summit. The ridge was covered with a bit of snow
and it was quite windy. We didn't realize how much incline we covered
on the way up but our knees let us know on the way down. It took us
approximately 8 hours to complete and we were all looking forward to a
hot bath and rest when we got home.
