9-11-10 Dix Mountain

This is a hike that defeated us before so we tackled it again from the south. It is about a 3,000 plus elevation gain and a damn hard hike.
This was the easy part.
By the time we got to the top we were tired and actually left packs on the trail in order not to be encumbered while scrambling over sharp rocks and dizzying heights.
This is almost the peak. There was a straight drop off and the view was incredible.
These guys were at the top making tea on a shear drop off. The mountains around are vivid and stunning. It pushed my abilities to deal with heights and our stiff hiking boots made rock scrambling hard.And the decent.
