I was itching to get out, Zach was looking for a hiking partner. Though I’m not sure why he dragged me along since he found some other guys to make the climb to The Brothers with him. I didn’t summit since it was a little bit of a technical climb and I don’t have any experience in that (yet). We camped partway so that the guys could make their summit early the next morning before the snow got too soft.
That morning, I slept in and explored the area. This probably wasn’t the best idea since I had no idea where I was. But I wanted to see how far I could get up the trail (if I actually knew where the trail was). I wandered around and decided to make a scramble up a steep hillside to see if I could get above the treeline. This proved to be a bad idea since a giant boulder came tumbling down, almost squashing me in it’s path. I decided to turn back then since Zach wasn’t expecting me to be exploring around and if I was seriously injured they would have no idea where to find me.
But it was beautiful lovely hike I’d like to do again sometime. Maybe one day when I become a better climber. The photos from the top from Zach looked nice! Photos below are courtesy of Zachary Oliver:
