Mountain climbing in the north

More chasing scenery. I spent the weekend with some friends from Sydney on a hike up the limestone massif of Doi Luang Chang Dao, Thailand's 3rd highest mountain, at 2240m. Hot winter weather in the high 20's/low 30's, followed by frost on the tent roof in the morning - hard to thermoregulate!The sunset and sunrise views were spectacular. Sore muscles.
