ABOUT ME
I'm Gabiba. Welcome to the first day of the rest of my hikes ... and runs.
My first hike was a terrifying trip up Lions Head in 2009. Back then there were no staples at the chains section and no-one bothered to tell me there was an easier route up.
But it was only in 2012 that hiking went from a casual to serious past-time.
I mention this because I was/am still, sometimes, terrified of heights.
