i was seriously considering taking this week off given the heat, but decided to give it a shot and i'm glad i did. hot and nasty down low, but the wind on the summit was like an oasis. even got a bit of a chill since i was so sweaty. followed a real solid herd path about halfway to mt. blue to where it faded out in some scrub. then headed roughly northeast on the path of least resistance hitting many intermittent herd paths to the summit jar.
nice sweaty day in the mountains.
