Mountain of the Week

This week's mountain was Heart Mountain, an easy scramble. About 10 km round trip, 875 m elevation gain and the highest peak is at 2135 m. A very nice trip with quite steep hiking in the begining up to the first summit, two-three easy ridge walks with nice views and then an easy descent. Brilliant wheather and no hurting IT bands made the day even better. I was sweating buckets though, and since I didn't bring enough water I had to rehydrate with two pints at the pub when we got back. As one of the girls cut her knee on a sharp rock and got a fairly deep wound I also realised that one should not only carry a first aid kit, one should also know what's in it and how to use the stuff...
