Omg, it was so much fun!! I want to do it again via Ski Hut. But I took devils backbone and went down on the trail between backbone and Ski Hut.. ridge something? I kept falling on my butt and laughing like a maniac!

Cool things that happened:

💛 Passed by an older lady, probably on her 80’s, doing devils backbone!! She’s amazing for that!

💚 Saw 3 snakes!! One right after backbone, a rattlesnake, she hit under a rock and I had to go around. A stripped racer! So freaking fast and beautiful! That one was on the ridge trail. And a baby rattlesnake coming out of the falls!

💛 Summit was super super windy, I had to stop a few times because I was scared to lose balance towards the end. Super fun, tho. Made me feel alive!

💚 Took a super cold waterfall shower at the end!!

So much fun! I’m so grateful for being able to do this. 4 more peaks to go 🥰
