Snow at the Great Wall

I climbed the Great Wall today -- in the snow!

Not at all what I would have expected. The section we visited is referred to as the Wild Wall – an area being maintained -- but not rebuilt. We passed several sections that had been rebuilt - but were told they were not real. It’s really massive - and when you think about all it took to build up & down the mtns -- its even more massive. Quite an opportunity to climb to one of towers and gaze out over a number of towers in the distance. I really recognize the difficulty involved in the initial construction. It was even tough to climb up with the add of steps, let alone carry material to construct the Wall.
