 Low temp. -20F
 
			"Today was the day from hell.  The scenery was the only 
saving grace, but beyond that I hated it.  It was so difficult that I 
wanted to cry, swear, and quit.  I felt defeated, but I made it carrying a 
load as heavy as the men.  Everyone struggled and some of them felt like 
quitting also.  The hike lasted 9 hours.  Our guide said summit day 
would be worse." |
