Title: Hiked Mt Si today
Post by: trophyhunt on April 26, 2015, 05:53:15 PM: It's in north bend, first time for me! It's quite the hike, round 4 miles to the top. Tried to climb hay stack peak but that part was too steep for me, I don't enjoy rock climbing! Met this nice guy w his girl friend, he has done 4 tours of duty and carried that flag w him on all of them. Nice guy, had to shake his hand and say thanks(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F15%2F04%2F26%2Fca12b573cddd19d761877ec05598b7fe.jpg&hash=ada5e831a5dba4d3b9ac50f8144ef1696e427239)!

One small slip and your pretty much done😱

before we did mnt si we did little si, there were guys rock climbing and the guy was about 80' up. He fell but his partner stopped him who was on the ground, was cool to watch but neither one of them had helmets on? I thought that was not good?!

This guy was a hiking fool. He got killed in a car wreck in Clearview coming back from hiking Mt. Pilchuck in the 1970's..
