It was time for conquer True Manamana. This peak was on my list for a while now, but because of weather conditions, always had to delay. Today even if it was raining, we gave it a go. Thought that when we get to Turnover weather will be better, but it was still whiteout. Still decided to continue. Rain started, but you could feel the power of the sun through the clouds. We were very safe and slow on the sketchy, narrow Ridgeline, but the wet rocks started worry me a bit. Continuing down, we realized that we were on the bottom of the big drop, so from there we just kept continuing up until we reached the peak.
Definitely an extreme hike, considering that one mistake on the gnarly ridge would be pretty bad. On the way back the sun came out and got very hot.
