Day 4



Woke up feeling 10000 times better-amazing. Doreen is just fine.
We had a short hike today to Lava Tower Camp elevation 14500 ft. We will do a short climb this afternoon and come back down to camp- this will help us acclimate (climb high, sleep low).

PART TWO

Once we got to Lava Camp, the clouds rolled in. We are now in the alpine zone.

We rested for a bit, then did an acclimatization hike to the top of Lava Tower and back. This involved a bit of rock scrambling to get to the top, which was in the clouds.

  1. Here's hoping that is the one and only Ninatapika episode. So glad that you are feeling better! You two are AMAZING - keep climbing and savor the views. What a sweet way to spend Valentines. Not to rub it in but we are going to the Olympus spa today - elevation 300 ft :) We'll be thinking of you!

  2. As I read your post I realize that it is like 9PM where you are.

    I hope you had a beautiful Valentine's Day together and that you are sleeping peacefully with your dinner digesting right where it should be!
