The above is the mountain that we conquered; if you look at the big ridge, you cans see the staircase.
The sunlight hitting the mountain across from us.
Myself and some friends ventured out at midnight on Friday to start a hike up the winding staircase known as Stairway to Heaven. We reached the hike start at 1 AM! We slowly and carefully made our way to the top and reached the summit at around 3:30. The clouds moved in on us along with insanely strong wind at it soon became very cold. The boys decided we should move down to one of the lower rest stops to watch the sunrise... I wasn't happy about that but I followed anyway. They took us to the very first rest stop and by this point I was very angry because I walked past amazing photo opportunities and was unsuccessful in capturing them because the stupid boys couldn't wait long enough for some light to come up!!! GRRR!!! And then they wanted to give up entirely on the idea of waiting for the sunrise at all!!!! I stood strong and said, "I AM staying!".... so they left me. So my friend Allison and I waited out the rest of the hour and a half before sunrise and had a marvelous time and got some pictures though not as many as I'd liked... We hiked out, got escorted out by security, got lost in a bamboo forest, hitch-hiked and walked along the highway! It was an adventure!!!
