I figure it would be easier to show you than tell you...
So here we are on the way toward Geryon...
When you get to the saddle, you have a jump to contend with...
Me jumping over
My wife jumping back
Or the full jump action jackson...
(If she isn't making it across, click refresh...)But don't look down...
When you complete the jump, you have a bit of a face to climb...
Then you meander around the edge to the right...
There's another face to climb, a bit more tricky, had to leave my pack there & just took the camera.
But it's all worth it - summit -
You do want a head for heights if you go close to the east face...
And it is quite steep heading down, though there are plenty of feet / hand grips...
As you can see, the weather was just a disaster... I mean, how is a guy supposed to see anything with all that rain and snow...
These were taken on the 26th February 2007.
Following the climb, we headed down and revisited Lake Helios at the foot of Hyperion, where we were 364 days earlier. It's a wonderful place to be to sit on the edge to the north of L.Helios and look out to the north, a great view of Ossa and many of the other mountains in the park. If you plan to go there, let me know and I will tell you the best way to head down to Helios - heading straight down is too much of a bash with all the fagus. There's a better way.
I can only say I am impressed and guess what I never look down.
