Very Nice Trip Report! Great photographs too. Love the switch back / ridge line shots. Nifty, Slick vantage point of The Citadel too. Thanks for putting this together. Awesome work with the summit of Hassell Pk. That's a quality mountain endeavor. Way to grit it to the summit, and get in those sweet turns. Making reaching the top of the peak look easy out there sir

Fabulously fantastic!
