Well I finally made it up Bear Mountain and let me tell you, it was rough. I felt like crap the whole day and really was in no mood to hike it today but I just wanted to get the whole thing over with. Usually I really like hiking just being outside, getting exercise and hanging out with C and the dogs. Not so much today. I think I said "fuck this mountain" about a hundred times during the hike up. The view when we got to the top was awesome. C wants to hike this twice a month until we hike our fourteener this summer but I'd be glad never to hike it again. Onto other mountains!
kick-ass view!
H-dog in action. The dogs had a blast and are now so tired they can barely move.
Henry and I at the top. Please excuse the fact that I am grinning like an idiot.
Stalking chipmunks.
Finally made it!
Nice work! Did only Henry get to go with you? You guys sure look good for struggling to the top. Chris and I don't even look that good at the base! = )
ReplyDeleteHe did try and make it up the rock scramble at the top although about half way up he had a panic attack and froze and I had to carry him back down. This is why I need smaller dogs. :) I was grinning like a fool at the top because I was so relieved not to have to climb up anymore.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what 14ner you are going to climb? Chris and I have some really nice books about all the 14ers in CO if you are interested in borrowing them. (Although we have yet to climb one . . .)
