Big PeakCongrats on summiting. Everytime I look at that peak, I say the same thing your dad did! But, I guess I just need to bite the bullet and do it. Nice TR.

Re:Thanks guys.
I'm not the fastest hiker around. I think it took us about 3 hrs to summit and 2 hrs to get down. We got back to the truck at about 12:10 pm... close enough for the girl :) We would have stayed up top longer taking in the views if it wasn't so windy.
