That first photo is fantastic! It's really captured her character in a landscape - just sublime.
I am not good at climbing UP< but I make it in the end. My lungs don't like it. Still, it's so rewarding. This looks like an amazing hike and I can see why you do it. And I tell you what, I'd rather be climbig that mountain than being stuck at my desk today. Sigh. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed this post.
Thank you for your kind words about the first photo! Climbing can be challenging, but it's always worth it for the views and the feeling of accomplishment. 😃
