I love GC. I’ve been there 4x and always wondered if it is as shocking in winter as it is in other three seasons.

What a superb shot! Well done.
It brings back happy memories of climbing the tower 10 years ago. That day there was no snow or mist; instead high winds kept lifting our abseil ropes above our heads making for a tricky descent!

Wow, I bet the view was fantastic. I have never experienced that climb.
