After three hours of climbing (starting at 3:30 a.m. in a snow storm) we are finally very near the summit of Lenana! You can see the flag in the upper right!

Nearing the summit!

We couldn't stay for long because the snow was still falling.

As we left the summitt the clouds broke so we could see the Gorges Valley.

So amazing.
