Even though the guide books list this mountain as a moderate climb, it was pretty hard. It was much steeper than we expected and there were 2 false summits. We also had some excitement on the way down as the storm approached. My trekking poles started buzzing from the electricty in the air! It was scary for a bit...

Here are the photos.
