"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Quick hike rewarding viewsClimbed up the stairs from the TH and summited in a matter of minutes if not seconds. Great views of the red mesas jutting out of the surrounding plain. Walked north across the flat summit until reaching a fence that warned of crumbling edges. From there I scrambled down the north west flank and made my way north towards Lone peak across a very muddy (at the time) field. Easy scramble up the south face of Lone peak. The summit provided a good view of the cathedral mountain to the south.
