Took a short side route to see this beauty

Here we go

After getting lost for a good 2 hours, I finally found my way up.

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

The only spot I would find without being under a widowmaker

Lot of traveling through high vegetation.. Understatement
