 | Comments: |
I led another Meetup group of 7 up the mountain. We did a 6 hour slow and steady hike. It was windy at the summit but the sheltered spot to the SE of the summit was good for basking in the sun. There was some interesting valley fog to the north that slowly dropped down over the course of the day but remained in some areas as we headed down. |
