The annual back-packing trip with the UCSD kids brought us to Cottonwood Lakes and eventually to the top of this rock... Mount Langley. This had to have been the toughest hike I've completed... more challenging than this one or this one due in part to the elevation.
After ending the trip early by one night due to the cold temps at night, I swore to myself I'd never backpack again but like all traumas, the pain is fading and upon return of my rental gear, I began to covet a new three-man tent for next year's trek.
See you all again in 2010!
