Going up to Pikes Peak was one of the greatest sights you can ever see. Traveling up to an elevation of 14,110 feet, when you’re used to 750 feet is a huge difference. The oxygen is so little that just walking up to the gift shop can catch you out of breath. Only 10 of us went up the mountain; Tory Campbell, Tyler Spitz, Sam Rose, Aaron Phillips, Matt Kleinsorge, Bobby Wickwire, Nathan Weber, Dylan Magaster, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Bay, oh, and of course you can’t forget Armando. When we finally made it to the top the sight was amazing. And when you looked over the edge, the only thing that gets your adrenaline running more is the drive up and down the narrow path. Of course we also played hacky sack at 14,110 feet. A new troop record! And for all the people that didn’t go or weren’t able to, we strongly recommend it.
