Oh Boy!

This peak has been attempted at least one other time years ago. FINALLY. I got to the peak. Just barely though.
After borrowing my friends big net, the bugs were more tolerable. In all the years of hiking, I’ve never experienced soooo many BUGS!

Im familiar with the trail up to the saddle. However the adventure began after setting off on the trail to the Cucamonga Peak. This peak has  always captivated me. So many stories of a challenge.
The trail to the peak was comforting at first… shaded and not much climbing. UNTIL we got closer to the peak. It took me many breaks and much positive self talks. And of course, my awesome friend, Amanda Burns, encouraged and pushed me to keep going! She always reminds me that we have to find comfort in the hard .

I told myself that it’s my first and last time to summit this peak. We all know the truth .I’ll be climbing it again.
