I Climbed Pike's Peak!

In the Colorado Springs area, Pike's Peak is the tallest mountain in view. It overlooks the city as one of the six Colorado peaks over 14,000 ft tall. Today, I got up at 4am and was on the trail before the sunlight hit it. It took me 9 hours to hike the 13 mile trail with an 8,000 ft elevation gain. I still don't know if it was worth it. I then hitchhiked a ride down to the trailhead and got home in time to have my neice and nephew tackle me.
