It was an early one for Josiah, Thomas and Alex as they had to be at the lodge at 330 AM to head for Mt. Elbert. This mountain is the tallest of all the mountains that are being climbed on this mission trip. All the guys made it to the top before the storms hit but it was a long hike. The guys and the ladies from Freedom Climb hiked for 9 hours to get to the top of Mt. Elbert. They made it back just in time for dinner at the lodge. Some of the pictures I've seen from the top of Mt. Elbert were amazing! (sorry, don't have any of those to post here).
Meanwhile, Dan and I took an easy day on the trails. Kate drove us up to the trailhead at over 10,700 ft. We did mostly downhill, but not before climbing to over 11,200 ft. The downhill was some of the steepest I've ever done! It was a little un-nerving, but I did it and loved it! When we finished we stopped to get lunch, and just in the nick of time too as a storm moved over Breckenridge and dropped pea sized hail on us. Fortunately, neither of us took any spills on the trails, which was a good thing!
Worship tonight was great! Dan and I started playing during dinner and then we went right into worship. It took a while for the ladies to get settled from the days climbs, but when we entered into worship it was awesome! (see the pics below).
