I am nowhere near acclimated to the heat right now, but was wanting to do something other than SoMo that would fit into a schoolday. Daniela & I met Kelly at the Bulldog parking lot and got started around 0815. Took the spur over to Pass Mtn Loop, then south.

Up Wind Cave, which had a handful of other hikers. The sections of shade were much appreciated. After that, we made our way up to the ridgeline. Hit the south summit first, then headed north. Fun, easy scrambling, not too much brush. Distinct route much of the way, but did lose it for a few minutes somewhere near the middle. Good breeze at times. I was griping about forgetting electrolytes this morning.

Nice break on the summit of Pass Mtn, then the slippery descent of the northwest side of the ridge. Everybody managed to stay upright. Finished up a little after 1230, so no kids were abandoned at school this afternoon, made it back with plenty of time to spare. Good to hike with Kelly and Daniela again.
