This is my first climb since my knee surjery (patellar dislocation and bone damage repared), 2 months ago. We get to the top of the meadows (1200' or so) and start for the summit up the ridge.

As we reach the summit, dark thunderheads start to move in. We get down fast and make it to the cars just as it starts to rain. All in all, a good climb, but not too hard. Maybe I'll try in the winter. I hear it's a real killer!
