From camp site, coming up to the col that separates Ptolemy Plateau and Andy Good Plateau. There isn't official trail name but Kirsten told me one of her book describes as "Paradise."

Panorama from the unnamed peak looking at north. You are looking at the other side of mountains that you see from HW3.

Unnamed peak GR735924. Andy Good Peak looks just like a pyramid.

When I was hiking, I didn't pay attention but this ridge was Continental Divine. I should have thought about that then I would have appreciated and enjoyed the hike even more.

Andy Good Plateau. There are small entrance of caves and holes. If this is snow covered, have to be careful.

Andy Good and its massive scree slope. I have never seen such amount of scree in a mountain. The scree goes up more than half the way up.

As we approached the entrance of Gargantua Cave, a family of mountain goats came out from the cave. Kirsten teased me but I really thought that little dude might fall, but they went up the cliff no problem.

Going deeper for treasures. Just don't get lost. No GPS here. Oh crap I forgot to bring my sword and potions. I only got hiking poles not a magic wand. I will be in trouble if I encounter a dragon... I hope I can run faster than Kirsten.
