Trip Report

On a scale of 1 to awesome this trip was fabulous. This was one of the several conditioning hikes offered by the climbing committee this spring to help get ready for the upcoming climbing season. This one went up Hardesty trail #3469 and down Eula Ridge trail #3463. There was a car shuttle at the 2 trail heads to make this work. Seven strong hikers kept up with my fast pace while lugging heavy packs and carrying on a steady stream of conversation about everything, and way too much talk, and dreaming, about cold IPA. The weather was too nice for a typical Memorial Day weekend.
