We summited a mountain today! Holy smokes! 9406 feet!
Mt Baden Powell Summit
That was insane. We got a ride out of town from a very nice lady and her dog, Circle.
She dropped us in the parking lot and then we started climbing. We climb. We descend. We climb again. Pacific Climbing Trail. That’s a more accurate name.
Climbing up
3000 feet up. Snow started about a mile and a half from the parking lot. We put on our micro spikes. We slid. We fell. We kept going.
Snow covered trail
The last mile abandoned the trail altogether. We climbed straight up! Some places had good steps but most places had giant steps. I fell a lot. 🤣 🛷 🎿 👍
More snow
Steep trail up
And more snow
You can see Steve at the top of the hills, waiting for me!
Top of the mountain
At the summit, we talked for quite a while with a German couple. They’re making a documentary. Check out their blog.
We were pushing for Little Jimmy Campground but I couldn’t make it. I felt so exhausted. What a crazy difficult first day back. We stopped about three miles short, but still found a beautiful site.
above the clouds
Yeah for your first day back on the trail! So good that the two of you are together now.
Now that’s a view! Good to see you both conquering the heights 🙂
It was an amazing view! We had to work super hard to get to the top of the mountain but were so happy once we got there!
That’s so awesome! You two rock! ❤️❤️
