That first day was beautiful even before the summit — neither the spitting rain (nor Yvette’s nerves, it seems) could stop our ear-to-ear grins. The final rock-scramble to the top was definitely a tricky one (my [IT-bands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_tract) are still complaining), but that moment where the three towers rose above the eerie other-worldly terrain still glows within me.
