Mount Pete with 33 pounds

John, Joan and I made it to the top in 90 minutes. I was packing 33 pounds, most of it in a weight vest. It rained toward the end of the day, but not too heavily. I dressed a little too light, but I had backups. At the end of the day, going back to my car to retrieve my phone, I tripped on an uneven part of the sidewalk and skinned my left hand and right knee. It could have been worse.
