Rumor says it. A week ago when a sumo wrestler came here. He was so heavy, he broke this bridge and now the road is closed.

Crossing this pretty stream near the waterfall I mentioned in route description. This also means I am on wrong trail.

Spionkop. Looks there is some challenges to get up there.
PAGE 14: HIDE PAGE 14SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
Very pretty.

From a high point between col and Spionkop. Now Spionkop Ridge do look like a ridge rather than a peak.
PAGE 16: HIDE PAGE 16SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
I elected to go slightly left side of the ridge (east aspect).
PAGE 17: HIDE PAGE 17SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
Easy scramble but long steep slope with lose rocks.

At the summit of Loaf. It was very interesting to see low clouds hanging around just around front range of Castle all day long. But it wasn't so interesting once I was in the low hanging clouds.

Red bowl.

Red ridge continues.
PAGE 24: HIDE PAGE 24SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
Little better visibility.
PAGE 25: HIDE PAGE 25SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
The ridge continued more but I had to get down.
PAGE 26: HIDE PAGE 26SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
This is the 2nd bowl from the summit where I descended.
PAGE 27: HIDE PAGE 27SHOW/HIDE PIC 1
Unlike the first bowl, majority of 2nd bowl is surrounded by big cliffs. In order to avoid them, I aimed the snow patch then from there I descended straight down to the valley where there was on cliff.
