Chinaman's Peak
Kelly Wood and I headed out to the mountains after work on 14 June
1996 to watch the sunset from the top of 2407-metre Chinaman's Peak (now
known as Ha Ling Peak). Not surprisingly, we had the whole mountain
to ourselves from start to finish. Descending in the twilight was a
rather new experience for us, but we got back to the trailhead quickly
and didn't really need our headlamps.
Kelly scrambles up the open slopes
above treeline.
Kelly relaxes beside the summit cairn
as the sun sets behind the mountains to the west. Click

I would eventually return for a repeat ascent in
2021.
