On the side of trail there is familiar looking rocks. I call them mini-crow because they look like Crowsnest Mountain and Seven Sisters.

Oh boy at the 2nd picture I already posted false peak. It seems Greg have done this one at least twice. For me I don't remember, maybe 7th?

I don't have life insurance. Oh wait, I guess it doesn't matter if I fall from this altitude. Where is my skateboard? I am going for broke.
