Trip Report

Well we made it to the top this year. The weather was about as perfect as you could ask for. Light wind, sun was out, birds were singing and people were holding on with white knuckles as they made their way across the crawl. With Danni as my assistant lead we had Hayden Banks and his dad Larry. Chris Melton, and Elise (Lili) Weldon which made for a great team of people to climb such a great mountain at the end of July. As far as climbs go everything went really smooth with no major hickups this year. Now we get to wait until next year and do it again with a new set of climbers. Now on to snow season till next year.
