    Toward the top, the trail narrows a great deal, becoming rather exposed.

    At the summit, there is a small hut that offers a small amount of shelter when the weather is bad.

    The summit itself is very crowded and fairly narrow.

    About Us

    We believe good things come from people spending time outside. It’s about more than standing on the mountain top. It’s about nourishment and learning. It’s about protecting what sustains us. It’s about building relationships with the outdoors and each other.
