My first mountain. This was the buggiest trip I have ever taken, and the most exhausting. My brother and his friend Max took me up Stuart sometime in August. We hiked in to the first ridge, and camped. The next morning we got up at 4, and then hiked, climbed, descended, and hiked out. made it to the car at 10 PM. A very full day for a 12 year old.
