Still Ascending.

 

     I thought this picture would be appropriate simply because it is a climb and, well, this is what you look at most of the time. A steep dirt path that (for us) S-L-O-W-L-Y winds up the mountain. Ascent4.jpg (28172 bytes)

Here we are getting close to the half way point and feeling tired. We passed the big tree line and are still in the bushes. From here we can see some of the city, the bay, and mountains across the bay.

 

Ascent6.jpg (15612 bytes)      Same location on the mountain as the picture above, just a little more detail of the city. There were some people out sailing on the bay, as you can tell by the white spots on the water. Meanwhile your weary travelers (us), gave up trying to break the record to the top and back down since we had already exceeded that time.
