The Fellowship of Pico

The Female Fellowship members (minus myself)

There are not enough words to describe climbing up Pico... I can however say that we started off as a Fellowship of 6 and were able to conquer Pico together as 6.

The beginning of Pico!
Oh hey pico!

One - Madeline - aka Gandalf
Two - Advaita - aka Samwise Gamgee
Three - Anya - aka Frodo
Four - Katrina - aka Aragon
Five - Adriana - aka Legolas
Seis - Tome - aka Gimlee

6 hours of climbing in the dark + 1 flashlight & 4 phone lights + 2 hours waiting for the sun to rise (FREEZING OUR BUTTS OFF) + 4 hours of climbing downhill = ONE amazing journey to the top of Pico and back and a lifetime of (stupid) memories.

Sunrise at the top of pico! (6:30am)
The Fellowship made it!

Yes we were under prepared... we had no sleeping bag, no real flashlights, no tent, and were not dressed properly... but we made it!
