The last of the 14!

by Dessie1 1 Jul 2012 Climbed Brandon on 30 June 2012 starting from faha grotto.Lots of rainwater rushing from every gully on the pilgrams path the whole way up due to recent bad weather.Had the mountain to myself the whole morning which was strange for such a busy place.Done a bit of recon on the faha ridge which will be revisited on a drier clearer day.The clouds where covering the top of the ridge between main and North top which is where I took the photo of the last few meters to the main summit.Very enjoyable and peaceful climb which will stay long in the memory.The last of my 900's done! Oh,And also bagged the north top as it was so close!
