Ha Ling on New Year's Eve: A Stairway to Slightly Sweaty Heaven

Our New Year's Eve wasn't exactly a pre-dawn alpine start. We were operating on a more civilized 10 AM departure from the ACC lodge. After all, Ha Ling, while worthy challenge, wasn't Everest. We weren't expecting to summit by brunch.

Waking up at 8:30 allowed for the usual lodge morning rituals: the mad dash for a vacant bathroom (a small victory in itself), the kitchen scavenger hunt (where *are* the plates this time?), and breakfast with the other intrepid adventurers… or, well, just us. It seemed everyone else was either already conquering some other peak or wisely choosing to sleep in.
