The climb up toward Ibex Pass seems really easy at first, but gets a bit more demanding as I get going.

It doesn't really even look uphill in this photo.

It wouldn't be particularly challenging climb if I didn't have the added weight of my camping gear, a day's worth of water, and the hot sun on my back.
