Found a ranger’s hut,
or perhaps a maintenance person’s hut on a short morning stroll. |

Breakfast before
leaving to climb Solomons Throne and The Temple. |
Short walk back to the
saddle, Damascus Gate. |
Solomons Throne,
first climb of the day. |
 |

|
|
Looks like a rough
climb from the bottom, but great track work makes it fairly
easy. |
