Okay all, i have been hiking from the museum to 5500 feet with Doreen for a couple months now. Yesterday for the first time i was able to go all the way to the tram, WOW, what a great hike. I want to thank Doreen for teaching me the trail and the appreciation i have gained for the mountain. I also want to big time thank Sid for getting my butt up the mountain, finally.
Just wanted to share with the board.

7 hours is not bad in those conditions, especially the first time. Congratulations. Did you have an ice axe.?
