I sound my barbaric YAWP!: After the massively tough 900 meter climb up the ‘28 corners’ of China’s Tiger Leaping Gorge this was the 3000 meter view down the valley. The gorge was a two day long hike split into regular stops at hostels along the way. The climb is famously hard, but some people made it look easy; not I. I needed the aid of a stout stick by the end as the cliff is very exposed to the weather, in our case a very hot sun that blazed down upon us. The next day was mostly downhill, but included very narrow thin passes past fast flowing waterfalls that threaten to sweep you over the 300 meter drop to your doom. I stuck some mp3’s of Alan Watts in my ears and enjoyed the cool breeze.
