Conquering That Mountain
Submitted by Ryan on Sat, 06/21/2008 - 7:06pmI hiked Mt. Si today! I made it to the top. I didn't scramble up the Haystack. I took one look at that and said OH HELL NO! Breanna did it and I admit the view is amazing. I might try for the Haystack the next time. But I figure for my first big test, 4000 feet over 4 miles is just fine.
Coming down the mountain was also brutal. But I did it! The last quarter-mile both going up and coming down was sheer force of will. But see, that's just it! Before, I would have given up long before the top. In fact, the last time I attempted this hike, I quit before I even reached the half-way point.
