top o the mountain to ya




Home of the worst weather on earth! 55% of the time the summit is covered in clouds and 300+ days they have hurricane strength winds. Gusts up to 80 miles an hour today - but I only got hit as I was going down. (I think that deal with Mama Nature and the tick worked out to my advantage - considering 3.5 weeks ago it was raining every day. Isn't it neat how things work out. Locals were coming out of the woodwork to see the Summit - as the weather was unheard of. Over 140 people have died climbing this mountain - the weather just changes so dramatically due to the elevation and location.
