5 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •
Went up to Mailbox looking for signs of The Angry Hiker, but nothing was there to be found. That must mean we have 6 more weeks of winter !!!!
Felt great to get my 1st Summit of the year out of the way. Dragged my buddy Tom Bomb up the mountain. He was grumpy when we first started, then he warmed up and started kicking it into gear. Once we busted out onto the meadow he thought the end was near.... although he didn't realize there was a false summit. Queue up the profanity... I only heard him once say that he was never hiking again with me again, so it couldn't have been all that bad. Once he got to the top and was rewarded with the rip roaring view of I-90, there was nothing but smiles.... But even that was short lived. About half way down he was grumbling and ranting about being done with the snow.
Ahh gotta love Mailbox... It really lays it all out there and lets you know how good of shape you are in for the upcoming season !!!
Cheers to Tom Bomb !!!

I'm surprised you went up that dumpster, being the summit snob that you are. Now you're going to have to do it again to drag MC Hammer up there.
