Maligne Lake und Canyon
... o) es war einfach toll (siehe Bilder). Kurz vor dem Gipfel kamen mir dann auch mal ab und zu Umkehrgedanken, weil es echt sowas von windig war, dass es mich fast umgepustet hatte und die Eiskristalle schmerzten ganz schön im Gesicht… aber oben hat es sich mal wieder gelohnt, sonst hätte ich den Blick zur anderen Seite ja nicht gehabt.
