We gained elevation very quickly and on the third switchback or so, had a bird’s eye view over the town ...

... me of an abominable snowman or a yeti perched on your head… needless to say, it was not purchased. I had seen a neat jersey with all the mountain climbs they had done and were going to do so we stopped by once it opened up after lunch. Anoop and Dad quite liked the jersey and picked up one each.
