We were "up and at 'em" at 5:45. We heated water on the cute and efficient backpacking stove for instant oatmeal and had bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. Ah, more fuel for our journey and less weight to carry in our packs! We had to get everything back in our packs after that. Cathy swept the shelter and by 7:05 we were off on our big adventure. At 7:50 we passed the second shelter that at one point was our target for the first night. But considering how tough the climb was, we were glad to do it first thing in the morning instead of last night in the rain. And there was no privy at the second shelter, so I was glad we had picked the other one.
At 8:05 we took a little water break. Gotta stay hydrated!
