Mountaineer Murray

I've decided that I might be a Low after all, despite my first 17 years of not exercising or playing sports. Dad and I hiked Timpanogos when he was here in Utah two weekends ago. We only lost the trail to glaciers and darkness 8 or 9 times. It was definitely amazing, both the scenery and the fact that we made it.

What Timp normally looks like this time of year, and what we climbed:

At one point we had to brace ourselves between the cliff face and the top of a glacier and move sideways over a 15 feet deep crevice. The greatest part was when we called Mom at 6:00 am from the hut at the top as the sun rose over the Mountains. It was gorgeous.
