Gothics as seen during the ascent of Saddleback Mt

The most challenging hike of the season, so far: about 22 km, and two peaks, Saddleback (elevation 1328) and Basin (1471).

Lessons learnt: start earlier, carry more water, and take a headlamp at all times. And beware of bears: the High Peak Wilderness Area is bear country...

Can't wait to go climbing again!
