Hiked this one with a private group consisting of Randy Pierce, his wife Tracy, "Sherpa" John, Rick, and Jim. Randy is blind and I got to guide him for about half the hike. That proved to be an interesting and rewarding experience; one that I'd gladly do again if again invited. It was Randy's 45th three-season hike (lifetime), and it was my 48th (for 2013) -- woo-hoo! |
