A day of cold and hot
... to do as that guy did!!
To get these wonderful photos meant walking down a steep slope and so it meant getting back up this very same slope. Soon I was puffing like a steam train. Being up at such high altitude really takes it out of you and by the time I got back to the upper cable station the sweat was pouring off me!!
