Keith [Old Man] Stratford, Jr.

We started at Henry's Fork Camp Ground: 9,200', on Thursday; July 28th. Hiked 7 miles to Dollar lake, where we made our base camp.[10,000'] Along the way we crossed rivers, dodged rain and rocks.

On Friday at 6:30am we started our 6 mile [one way] hike to the peak. The trail was tough. The finial 2 miles and 2,500'elevation was boulder hopping.

You are above the tree line, so only rocks and rocks and then there were a few more rocks to climb.

The views were spectacular. The weather was perfect.

We finially made it to the top: [left to right,back to front] Mark Meadows, Dean Barney,

Causualties of the hike "Ouch, that hurts" Mrs. Diamond.....

We had a great time. Traveled 35 miles in three days, 4,500' elevation gain, a bunch of calories burned and yes we did stink...... but who cares, we bagged the peak!
