Today for the first time in a month I took the doggies up Pyramid. It was very weird not to hike up in ski boots and carrying skis. And no snow anymore - very sad. But much easier to hike up in xtra tuffs and with nothing to carry over my shoulders. And the wildflowers were stunning.
I climb Pyramid to go skiing maybe a 100 times a year, but I rarely climb all the way to the actual summit. I normally stop at the plateau 400 feet below the summit and ski down from there. So today was also special in that I climbed all the way to the top. I almost never do that!
