Humid as Hell

On the most humid day of the summer so far, four of us struck hiked anyway. The day had an average humidity of 87% with temperatures reaching the low nineties. Luckily, we all enjoy each others company. We hiked up Elk Mountain and made our way down to The Slit and back. Everyone but myself went through the Straight-Up Squeeze. I’ve been stuck there before. I have some anxiety about the spot. I backtracked and explore other way to meet up with the group and almost got stuck in between rocks anyway.

It was a great day for adventure. I slept a lot that afternoon and evening. We pushed it that day, and man was it worth it.
