<h3>Lions (Binkert) Trail</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>在温村的很多地方抬头往北望去,两座像骆驼驼峰的山峰傲立在群山之间,这便是著名的The Lions了。</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>Distance距离: 16Km <br></h3><div>Time用时: 8 hours</div><div>Average Grade坡度: 17.1%</div><div>Elevation gain拔高: 1280M</div><div>Difficulty难度: Difficult极难</div><div>Steps步数: 3万6-4万</div><div>Structure: Linear</div><div>rate: 5 stars (Must go)</div><div><br></div> <h3>第一次爬The Lions是5年前2013的8月。天气不好,漫天的大雾,还走残了一位朋友,Lions下来,这位朋友再也不跟我们爬山了。先看看那时的照片。</h3> <h3>5年后又是8月,天气晴好。同样的山花烂漫。路很难,石块和树根混合,倒下的大树时常阻拦道路。是我走过的最难的Trail之一。</h3> <h3>烂漫的鲜花是寂寞的,静悄悄地开放。也是幸福的,有如此美景相伴。</h3> <h3>登顶的路上,依然有盛夏积雪。</h3> <h3>深一脚,浅一脚,小心翼翼地走在浮冰和积雪上。抓起一抹雪,往汗流雨下的脸上擦一擦,一阵凉意让人暂时忘了疲劳。</h3> <h3>两个人相随相伴的Hiking总是让人艳羡不已。</h3> <h3>会当临绝顶,一览众山小。登到高处,不但欲与天公试比高,飞机有时也在脚下飞翔。</h3> <h3>永远佩服的还是Backpacking的勇者和强者。需要的不仅仅是体力,也是毅力和坚韧。</h3> <h3>当然,能鼓足勇气攀登,并走到这里也是勇者。</h3> <h3>面对美景,能用什么来形容呢?</h3> <h3>West Lions就在眼前。听旁边小伙子介绍,就15分钟的路程。但山势的险峻打消了我的念头。Have tried black tusk? 小伙子问。Yes, 我答道。It's easier than black tusk, 小伙子说,It's not scary by its shape, it's scary in your mind. 小伙子用手指着头说。</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>上次有Tim的鼓励和敦促。这次孑然一身去攀west lions还是没有这份勇气。留下些许遗憾也许正是生活的本质。</h3> <h3>不畏浮云遮望眼,自缘身在最高层。</h3> <h3>在登Quarry Rock途中有个路牌。写着温哥华演员Michael Nyuis的话,他是70后, 2015年在攀登Norrh Shore时不幸跌落而遇难。</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>他这么说,"Life is grand... I have much to reflect on and looking back on life I can truly say I had a great one so far... great friends, great times and I truly feel love by many... Is there any better way to gauge success? I think not."</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>普普通通如我,有朋友,有共度的美好时光,有你爱着,这是我的欣慰。</h3>
