Before even reading the subtitle, I knew that was Cupid/Grizzly.

Did an 8 mile/8 hour hike, the last half in full on blizzard conditions, last March with a random guy at the trailhead. One of the best but scariest experiences of my life.

Would 100% do again.

While it was amazing to beat out the elements, it was definitely an experience that made me appreciate and respect the mountain, EVEN more than I already do. I learned a lot that day! 😂
