The Fist
 
July 27, 2002
 
Mountain height: 2630 m
Elevation gain:    770 m
 
Scrambling with Mark.
 
What a fantastic scramble!
 
The Fist encapsulates everything that makes scrambling such a rewarding activity: an incredibly scenic approach, interesting route-finding, fun hands-on scrambling, super cool rock, a wee bit of exposure (but not too much!), and a fine summit panorama.
 
An awesome trip from beginning to end.  

Hiking up to the ridge between The Fist and Mount Smuts
