Come along to another summit. It’s a relatively mellow hike, more technical than strenuous although there is the one steeper part… but man it sure is pretty. The footing isn't so great either on the mountain itself with all those loose boulders.

Once the sun really started to shine it was hot on the skin, although my summit sit was only 60 F. At basically 11,000' above sea level the sun has less atmospheric buffer and feels really hot. I ran out of water, 3 liters, on the way out.

I was able to self spot with the phone network and operated 20 meters to the tune of 10 contacts SSB.

The next couple videos will likely be on radio and equipment. I've been very happy with my setup and gear haul, gear selection. The only change that I see coming is the radio itself.
