Another wonderful report and fantastic pics. Making the top following the mishaps just makes it sweeter. Love the Chipmunk and alpine flowers, in fact I love all the pics :clap:

Thanks JK, it was a really demanding but ultimately satisfying hike, even with the minor problems :D

Chris - those pictures are absolutely sublime. Is it the camera? Is it the light? Is it the landscape? Is it the photographer? OK - maybe its all of those things! Great read- loved the cluster of flora: great touch and very effective. WHAT a landscape. :shock: :shock:
