    I 💯% climbed Staircase the same way my first time, all fours, and clutching the rock on whatever way I could. Since then, it gets easier and looks more like Jeremiah walking up. Such an awesome view and hike!

    • @john_kelley

Things like that make it a good memory in the book. Merry Christmas to you and your family man and if you travel anywhere please be safe.

    You made it up the stair case, wow, knew you would though. You must have a big hike coming. It's seems like your training for one. Each one gets a little tougher. It's good to see everyone back out again!
