I said I would never climb this mountain ever again, but, for some crazy reason that I don't know, I changed my mind this summer when dad asked me (jokingly) if I wanted to climb. The hike was rough...again. But it was fun to get to know these students better and to accomplish that feat for the second time. My climbing adventures last time are linked here. My dad and I changed it up a little bit by riding mules up to the refuge with a few students. Such a crazy thing! There were lots of laughs and a few not-so-fun downhill parts, but all in all, I loved this mule riding experience. It also helped me have fresher legs to peak, so that was a win-win! Once we made it to the peak, it started to snow/hail! The sky around us was so foggy, and it was very difficult to look at the view. A true mountain effect for sure! Photo credits for the above pictures to Mrs. Carla As you can see, the peak was foggy! Being in the clouds feels so weird and seeing how quickly they move is crazy. I've heard that the clouds bounce off the sides of the mountain, and I got to see it up close and personal!
