What a day! I was able to do 4 peaks that I've been eyeing for a few years with Anji today. We ended up with over 15 miles and over 5k gain, according to my GPS, but none of it was easy. The brush on these ridges is intolerable. You're constantly changing directions, pushing through brush or ducking under brush. Ugghhhhh. The views from Big Mama ended up being the best of the group.
