Night on the Wall turned out to be much cooler than in our hometown and morning broke early due to Beijing being in the North and there only being one timezone for the entire country. So, after a sleepless night and rising at 4:30am, the journey began. Jason had looked at some online forums and figured it would be a 3-ish hour hike over undulating hills. What it turned into was a 7 hour trek up and down jagged mountain peaks! Here are some pictures of the event. Please do not attempt at home.
See the mountain way in the distance? We went there.
It really was an awesome adventure. Next time, warmer sleeping bags, a little rope and more water! There would have been more pictures, but at some point while we were free climbing over a precarious drop, we decided the relative safety of our lives outweighed photo opportunities.
