First scramble of the season is in the books. It's sad that it took until late July to summit our first peak, and even more sad that an old gentleman (labouring for breath the whole way, while moving at what appeared to be a snail's pace) managed to summit in less time than us. But regardless, bagging a peak is bagging a peak, even if it is the lowly Ha Ling Peak (700m elevation gain), which we have now done 3 years in a row as our season starting tune up. I used to spend the time during hikes excitedly anticipating the views at the top, but having done this one a few times, I spent all of today's hike dreaming of the pint I would have once completed. And it was GLORIOUS.
About 15 minutes into the hike, Anita looks reedy to give up.
But to her credit, she soldiers on up the steep switchbacks.
And the reward for the day's activities: New Belgium Brewery's Fat Tire Amber Ale. DELISH.
And of course, because I can't get enough of shooting polaroids, here are few from today taken with the SX-70. I have no idea why the colours are so funky with this set.
