"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Peak 13500 ftDay 6 of 6 day Colorado hiking trip. Forecast called for rain. Left Independence Pass at 6:00 a.m. hurrying up the slopes hoping to reach the summit before the storm came. Reached the top at 7:00. Rain began. Everything to the west was in clouds. Took a few pictures and basically ran down the slopes to reach the pass at 7:30. At least got to bag something.

Indy PassDuring a week-long Sawatch trip with the wife, we wanted a shorter hike on a day with a bad forecast. So we went up Pt 13,500 from Indy Pass, and I went over to Twining as well.
