Climbing Mt Bartle Frere, Queensland |
 On our descent the kilometres dragged by, ever so slowly. It took us almost three hours to get down from the 7-kilometre mark to the 3-kilometre mark – which meant that we averaged a painfully slow 45 minutes per kilometre while descending the steepest section of the mountain. (To put that pace into perspective, it was similar to our average of 49.5 minutes per kilometre when ascending the same section of the mountain.) |
