BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

My first climb after months dealing with a painful back injury. Took my camera and drone because I was told the views from the top deserved a drone shot. This hike is about 10km all around, and it takes about 5 hours to complete, due to heavy incline (almost 600m in under 1,5km). I must say it felt good to be back at the mountain. It felt great to fly my drone again. The weather conditions weren't great... We had almost 40ºC, humidity was spiking, and several fires in the area made the sky very grey and hazy. But still, I decided to go and put my back to the test. Can't wait to plan a serious mountain climb for the next one. But I'll wait for septembre ;)
