This was taken around lunch time, I was pretty hot and tired by this time (we all were).

Hey Tim, is it really that hard, or are you just posing for the camera?

Good view of Wildcat, actually we had good views of Wildcat pretty much all day.

I've climbed all those peaks over there.

Blurry summit shot. Never trust a lady who takes her pictures with a disposable camera to take a good picture.
