Approaching the top of Kelso Dunes, this final stretch is the steepest part

With the bright light reflecting off the light-coloured sand, I feel like I'm climbing a big snow bank. Except for the fact that I'm sweating enough to be wearing just a T-shirt and a sweat band. It's probably close to 60 degrees F here today.
