Mt. St. Helens

A few days ago we camped at the base of Mt. St. Helens, preparing to climb it in the morning. We left in two groups; slow climbers at 6AM and fast climbers at 7AM. I was in the fast climber group and it took me just under four hours to reach the summit. I was the second student up the mountain. We were above the cloud layer and the view was incredible. We could see mt. Hood and Rainer in the distance and the clouds looked like a blanket of mashed potatos below us. The climb was much harder than i expected but it was worth it! My body is still extremely sore though.
