Equal Footing

This year Mat and I were able to grab 3 peaks on our trip. We've hiked to other summits in the past, but this year was our strongest effort I think. We make a pretty good team. We're both at the same skill level, and we both have a passion for peaks. We're not the fastest hikers out there, but we're not the slowest either. We both give each other some space to enjoy the solitude, but we also keep an eye out for each other and never let ourselves get too far away from the other. But most of all...both of us don't mind at all getting up at 4 am and hiking 10 miles up to a summit. For a lot of people out there getting up at 4 am on your vacation doesn't sound like fun, but we don't mind at all.
