For the show's grand finale, a fast-moving summit cloud is transformed into a flame thrower as the sun sets behind Mount Tripyramid's silhouette. Hiking down is a spiritual experience: the sound of the wind's whisper and the sight of gently swaying trees beneath a moonless starry sky. I have to sleuth my way up the poorly-blazed trail; but descend by headlamp with ease, following my own fresh-snow footprints backwards. |
