April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - almost there I think... The photography stops really slowed down because it took all my effort to just GET to the top...
April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - So, we are almost at the top of the summit and we see the reason for the sign at the begining of the trail... we can't take the "easy" way up, we have to scale the rock...
April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - Here are the rocks we had to try to climb... about this time it started getting the best of my fear of heights... little bit of a mental breakdown.

April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - This is what we tried to climb first... this picture doesn't do it justice to how steep and tough this was...
April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - So, we went around that fence that blocked us from the "easy" way and we went up the closed path to the "easy" way up... this was still not so easy and Korey had to coach me up... we still had to climb. some significant rocks...
April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - Korey coaching me up the rocks... I'm almost there and pretty much beyond my mental breakdown...
April 25, 2009 - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Hiking to Chimney Tops - Korey is tired... he climbed up this once alone ahead of us... once with Rose, and another time to help coach me up while I was having some anxiety about the height thinking I was going to fall...
