The hike was, as always, cold, steep, and magnificient. We proceeded to climb up through an old growth cedar forrest containing of some truely giant trees. One giant was cleaved with a 6 inch wide gnarly vertical crack creeping up from trunk to towering top branches.

I attempted scrambling up this rocky summit then, after reaching the half-way point, decided it was too risky and am seen slowly, carefully downclimbing.
As you can see, we all had a good time.
