My First time on the summit!
It was a snow storm that prevented my last attempt. This time the weather was a BIG part of the plan. We had the famous Eggs Benedict breakfast and discussed our day plans.

"It's time for you to speak up a bit more" he said. "What do you want to do today?"

A hike in thunderstorm was the exact thing that came to mind. We prepped for wet weather and headed for the peaks. In the parking lot the hail was pounding on the windshield!

"If the hail stops within 5 minutes we'll go for it" I thought.

Mike was VERY hesitant about the trip but I was sure it would work out perfectly. It did!!
