• Frenchman's Peak

    11 Mac, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    I woke up this morning around 7 am.
    Today it's supposed to be nice weather, but not too hot, around 24 degrees. Perfect weather to climb up Frenchman's Peak 💪
    I had a good breakfast, got ready and packed up and left around 9:30 am.
    Got the last free spot at the carpark. Lucky me!
    I grabbed my back and was ready to go at 10:15.
    The first part was nice and easy but too short, soon it was time to climb up the bare rock. And it was really climbing. It was pretty steep and some parts were really steep. But the surface of the rock is really good, not slippery at all. I always had a good grip.
    I needed quite a few short breaks to catch my breath but made it to the top actually pretty fast. Just a bit over 30 minutes.
    The view from up here was amazing!
    I met a German couple up there and we had a nice short chat.
    Went back down to try to find the way into the natural window. When I found one, the couple from the top showed up and we went down into the natural window together. That was so cool to stand there.
    We walk all the way back together. They have traveled to New Zealand too and we had a lot to talk about.
    I was back at the car park at 11:40 am so it took me only 1 hour and 25 minutes. With breaks and talking..
