Today is Michael Shepherd's 18th Birthday. Nice!Up to Mt. Phillips. We travel through Clear Creek and take a break and throw some tomahawks there and load up on water to take with us. Phillips is a dry camp, so we must carry all we need.
After 3 hours and 15 minutes of grueling and almost straight up hiking, we make it to the summit and it starts to snow. There are small snow drifts abound.
A very cold, wet, and windy camp. Most go to bed at 6:00, just to stay warm.
Hawk throwing is very cool!
