Matt and Andrew wanted me to take this. We all liked the patterns.
There were some really tough places for me to get through. Luckily, I was with some pretty awesome men. Thank you especially to Brandon, Matt, and Andrew for pulling and pushing me up some of these cruxes.

Just more beauty.

It was such a stunningly beautiful view.
