Video from the 10 KM trek along the Great Wall on March 5,2010. One of the best things about climbing in winter is that there are no tourists ! Other than the occasional post card vendor , I saw no one !

Great Wall of China

Friday, March 5th, 2010
The 10 KM trek along the Great Wall from Jinshanling to Simatai is
especially challenging. The steps are treacherous, often with gradients of
80 degrees. One needs to be in top physical condition and not suffer
vertigo. The temperature today was no higher than 20 F ( -7 C) with a wind
howling down from Mongolia.
