Me, all set to continue the final push to the summit.

This was the first time I use balaclava and goggle on a hike. In a cold and windy day like today, both of them were life-saver.

Unfortunately, being inexperience with goggle and hiking in winter, I made a hugh mistake half way to the summit by removing my goggle. Once the goggle was lifted from my face, it only took less than the split of a second for it to fog up and another split of the second to freeze up. I could not scrap off the ice built up on the lens, and had to hike in the wind without my goggle all the way to the summit, that was pretty brutal.
