Hey wonderful trip report, photos and website you have! Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful shots! Looks peaceful on a Friday there too.

I think we met you two around Gray Eagle area once maybe? Did you guys climb up Decade there? And/or maybe we've seen you at a Lunesta Fiesta?
Anyway, good to see you here!

Thanks for the kind words susan! It was peaceful. Just 1 other party climbing that I saw and a couple people on top. I'm pretty new to the area so it's probably someone else you're thinking of  :)
