Since it was too steep and dangerous to take photos, I put my camera back to my backpack, then paid full attention to climb to the top,

因為中間路途太陡峭, 為了安全起見, 先把相機收起來, 專心爬上山,

so........

所以....... 

Here we are !!!
瞬間我們就來到山頂了!!!

< Hitch-hiking for helicopter 搭便機>
There was a helicopter in the sky, so I tried to see if I could get a ride and take some awesome shots from sky; unfortunately, NO!
