The first climb.

A short break before tackling our next climb.

A moment to reflect.

... and up through the conifer.

Breaking out of the conifer and into the sunshine.

Just a little more climbing to go.

Our summit is in sight.

Time for a group photo to mark our celebration.

Everyone agrees that lunch in the field is the best meal.

Lunch with a view.

Heading down can be trickier than climbing up.

Another slope to go.
