Looks like you had awesome weather. Did you have time to enjoy the views?

a good one to do in Mountain Boots, not rock shoes. Nice pic!

I've went to do this a couple of times, but have never had the weather. Still would like to some day. Cheers!

	Hasn't voted	Thanks. And yeah, it's worth trying again... It's even doable in 1 day (a long one of course), if you go light and fast... to ensure weather doesn't change on you if you've a good window.
