| partners | | It was great to summit this iconic peak 
Thanks to Scott for leading and doing all the work for the climb and rappel.
I think if Bob, Joe, and JJ were in charge, the Earth would make a complete rotation in about 17 hours. Not sure they know what the word "slow" even means. 
I was happy to have a poofy coat and gloves with me as it might have been in the 40s in the shade. But then it was a toasty oven not much later.
BobP made a donation to I'itoi a little sooner than planned. Perhaps keeping the helmet on all day is a better plan for next time. 
About two hours into the hike JJ was already planning for tacos afterward. 
It was also nice to see that JJ is in fact sort of human. Not sure he'll ever really grasp the concept of using a rope though. 
Up top we had lunch and a beverage. Good thing the traveling Chumwagon was up there or the only eats might've been the hard candy in the summit register.
On the rappel, Joe executed a perfect Forward 9L, and wasn't shy about doing it again either!
We went in search of the beautiful Babo Blonde, but ended up with some Wet Beaver instead. Not fully satisfied, JJ convinced us that driving 47 miles out of the way would only take 10 extra minutes and be worth it. The time might have been off a little, but it was definitely worth it! Great to top off the day with some BK and DQ.
All-in-all a pretty good day!
