Mt Olympus after work to celebrate Joe's 300th summit of the mountain

Joe has climbed Mt Olympus (9,029 feet) 301 times. On Friday after work I went with Joe and his wife up the mountain to celebrate his 300th climb of Mt O. He packed a stove, hot dogs, buns and drinks, and we had a mini-banquet on the summit.

The trail to the top of Mt Olympus South summit is 3.5 miles and gains 4,200 feet vertical. This was my 27th time at the summit. Time to summit: 1 hour, 55 minutes.

Nice job. 301 times on top of Olympus. Not sure I could do it. That trail is not the prettiest.

Every time I go up Mt Olympus trail it is a struggle-not so much physically but in my mind because the trail is long, boring and steep. But the reward is worth it. And what is the reward? Strong legs and lungs, a sense of accomplishment and a great view.

Hey, when are we going to do the annual Oly night hike? I am ready any time.

Scott I've been thinking about the night Olympus hike. Any time, my man. Howz about next week?

That sounds good. Any night should work for me. Just let me know what works best for you.

Hey, on Kings yesterday I saw a marmot at Anderson Pass wearing what looked like edible pantaloons. Strange.
