My route was only 1 horizontal mile, pretty awesome to behold.

When you come down for Oktoberfest this year, and you will fly down I demand it, we should actually try for something back there on a day hike. I did Cashmere mtn (picasaweb.google.com) the weekend before which is 8500'. It tore the shit out of my feet, but it was a beautiful and worth while hike, very reminiscent of O'Malley peak.
