Bears Hump I Poster

The last few times we promised that next time we go, we'll climb the Bears Hump. I had climbed this trail many times before, but not lately. The last time I remember was when our son Otti was just a baby, and I carried him in a carrier on my chest. I would always race to the top. Not this time, though! About halfway up, I needed to catch my breath and rest for a while. Had to rest a few more times until we reached the summit. Once there, I was OK and we started shooting pictures of the breathtaking (pun intended) view. While doing so, I spotted a couple of young guys climbing up the hard way on the rock face. Once on top, they talked to me without any hint of hard breathing!
