Peak Kumbel

It's been a while since I've posted any pictures.  This latest collection is from a June hike to Peak Kumbel.  My close friend, Benjamin, a Brit, took me on this long 12 mile (20 km) hike.  Kumbel is 10,400 ft (3000 m).  We started at around 5000 ft.  Clearly, this was the most vertical walk I've done.  I drank 3 liters of water before I reached the top ... bad on my part.  Fortunately, there was water coming directly out of the mountain that was cool and fresh.  There is a point in the hike, at a high pass, that you can imagine Julie Andrews singing "The Hills Are Alive, with the Sound of Music."
