Mt. Olympus Dec. '08

So I've been reading "No shortcuts to the top" a book by Ed Viesters, the first American to climb the 14 highest peaks in the world without oxygen. It's a great motivational book both in life and with a little adventurism... climbing mountains :-) So with a free afternoon we grabbed Greg's friend Tyler and took off up the mountain. It was a vigorous workout, fairly steep the whole way, and got a little icy in the shaded area's. Overall it was way fun and a challange. My favorite part was the last 100-150 yards to the top was all scrambing up a pretty steep rock face.

It sounds cold to be hiking! I guess it didn't get cold for a while though. I can't wait for warmer weather. I am ready to get out!!
