Hiked with a partner

It snowed the night before and we were met with 28 degrees, snowy, windy, foggy, muddy, sunny conditions …the list goes on. The elements were against us, but we pushed through. I can’t even explain the physical and mental exhaustion I feel.

Cheers to tackling my highest elevation yet & the tallest mountain in LA County at 10,064 ft. Mt. Baldy is a beast. This marks Peak #5 of @sixpackofpeaks challenge!!
