"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."

Ocean to Peak Adventures: 2022 Mountain Summit ChallengeThis was my fifth summit in a challenge. For the first two miles it was quite dry, and the top had plenty of snow. It was extremely windy toward the top. I did not wear snowshoes or snow spikes.

From Hwy 50Warmup climb. Drove in the short 4x4 road to the trailhead sign.
Easy up and down. The best views are only just when you summit. On the way up we met a fellow pushing a bicycle uphill in the wilderness. We talked a while and he turned around,

Hello snowDid this while getting over a cold, not the best idea... but we made it! There was some fairly deep snow toward the top, and some ice lower down in the shade. Great views all around.
