Once we reached the summit we all celebrated and snacked. We enjoyed the view and then got back at it and headed down. Short but sweet. We were all in it for the reward of making to the top.

"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."

At the start of the hike it was dark, cold and I was still half asleep. Up until the first checkpoint I felt like I didn't really know what was going on around me, everyone was quiet and my legs moved automatically pushing me further up the mountain. By checkpoint one the sun started to appear over the mountains and I was no longer stuck in a sleepy haze. I was fully aware of the nature and beauty around me and I wanted to push myself further up the mountain to look back over the rolling landscape. Looking back on the land and seeing how much elevation you had gained was what pushed me to keep going all the way to the top.

The group I hiked with consisted of 9 of the most BA people you can find. We all hiked at a steady productive pace. When one person needed a break we all took a break. We all shared water and snacks the whole way up. If someone was down we all picked them up. Multiple people brought flags to rep they're homelands and music to keep our tempo and spirits high. We provided comical relief when appropriate and some stern pep talks when appropriate. In the end we made great time up and down all thanks to each other.

Since two days prior members of the group and I had decided to be on the first bus going up. We had all met in the student center by 5am even though none of us wanted to talk or be talked to. We had all made it on the first bus, but were the 4th bus to leave. Once on the bus we immediately got the tunes going to set the mood. We talked each other up talking about how we will all summit no matter what and in the end what we said became the truth.
