Mt Olympus party at the summit

I helped my buddy Joe celebrate his 400th trip to the summit of Mt Olympus today. We had hot dogs, cupcakes, brownies and ice cold Coca-Cola. Mmmm-mmnn. I ran from the trailhead all the way to the first stream crossing, then had to move carefully over the icy trail. I caught up with my friends who had started hiking 20 minutes before me and stayed with them for the remainder of the ascent. We stayed at the top for an hour of partying. The descent through the rocks was fun and a little challenging. 

 4,200 feet vert

Nine more miles from home to make a 70 mile week. Woot.

Good job on the double effort. If I had known you wanted a second outing today I would have hit you up for Flag Rock. Sweet elevation and miles today regardless.

That would have been a nice thought but I don't think I could have gone any more 'up' today after Olympus.

Dude, awesome week! I wish I could have joined you guys on Oly. Sounds like you had a great time up there even though your wieners were frozen.
