Assault on Hawkins Mountain by Team Gummi Bear

What happens when good people ingest too much caffeine and sugar. Jen and I like to hike (she is more... manic? than I am but we both enjoy it.) There is a forum for local hiking: Northwest Hikers and it is customary to post trip reports. Here is Team Gummi Bear's. First the photo of the assault on Hawkins Mtn:

The true summit was an easy walk up and has several "scramble free" routes.... Myself and my friend walked up, while Team GB decided to go unroped up the NW arete; A truly brave ascent!! (See attachment)... One team member fell, but was unhurt....
During the stay on the W Peak, we found our food supplies to be scarce and canibalism was our only option; But who to eat!? I sized up all of the Team members, and it was obvious the pretty little green, red, orange, clear and yellow climbers would be the first to go!!! Numerous members of Team GB were eaten and I must say they were quite delicious!!

Cannibalism?!?!?!? The horror! The movie rights! Posted by DaveH at March 5, 2005 10:37 PM
