After my discovery hike five days earlier, I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to hike the same ridge in its entirety. It would be a long hike–every bit of which I’ve hiked before in pieces–but one that would pass by seven peaks. I felt it...
Continuing with the theme of ‘easy hikes’ due to my knee injury, I chose to make an attempt to hike to an abandoned Paiwan village named Tjakuvukuvulj. While there, my secondary plan was to hike to NeiWenShan – 內文山, a nearby mountain peak that doesn’t appear on any newer...
