BJL_Hen: The weather was not very inviting...
©
BJL_Hen: And here is our intrepid group
©
BJL_Hen: And with me...that pack weren't too light...I'll pack lighter next time
©
BJL_Hen: There were still plenty of birds about...
©
BJL_Hen: ...even though the weather was a little nippley
©
BJL_Hen: And Bom Bom too...
©
BJL_Hen: And this couple who joined us.
©
BJL_Hen: Me...
©
BJL_Hen: And this is what we saw for about 95% of the hike in...
©
BJL_Hen: 8.5 KM doesn't sound too far but it takes a toll after a while
©
BJL_Hen: Bom Bom was exhausted...but pushed on...
©
BJL_Hen: Our intrepid group makes it to the Paiyun Lodge (8.5KM from where we started)
©
BJL_Hen: This (and the previous picture) were taken on the following morning before we tried to get to the peak. No one felt like taking the group shot after we got here.
©
BJL_Hen: Bom Bom was in much better shape for the hike on this day
©
BJL_Hen: Ice Swurls
©
BJL_Hen: I have never seen mist do this before. I was cold but not quite cold enough to snow.
©
BJL_Hen: So the mist and fog would just hang on anything

BJL_Hen: Sun Breaking Through
©
BJL_Hen: You would not believe how windy it was here. I handed my bag to Belinda, took my camera and made my way the last 100M.
©
BJL_Hen: 50M to the peak...
©
BJL_Hen: The wind blew harder...
©
BJL_Hen: And the sun burned the last of the mist
