Hiking the Chief

Once again this summer we hiked the Squamish Chief except this time we went to the 2nd peak. I had never been there before. We made one mistake though.

Our mistake was eating a whole bunch of food we bought at the grocery store...

...right before trying to hike up to the top of this.

It was a little crazy. My stomach felt like there was a giant stone in it.

We had to stop for a break. Rob's ass was dirty cause he was wearing a leaking camelbak and then I guess he sat down somewhere.

At a later break spot Rob climbed up this rock.

I also climbed the side of the rock but I used my knees which scratched up my legs a bunch.

On the way up the 2nd peak there are a couple narrow parts where some chains offer help.

People were coming down so we had to wait for them.

Here's Adam waiting waaay below.

Here's Rob after hiking through the next narrow section ahead.

The view was just an awesome from the 2nd peak as the 1st.
Also, you can get a good view of the 1st peak.

At the top there were some skinny chipmunks and one
ran right across my back while I was looking down at the view.

Rob and I hiked a little further along the peak to look down from the other end.

Everyone but Adam ran out of water by the peak,
so we hiked down pretty quick to the stream and then took a break.

From there we were pretty quick to get to the parking lot too.
Perhaps next year we will tackle the 3rd peak.
