It is the day after our second and last expedition at Granite Chief. We all tried to make the best out of last expedition of our 24-day program even though the weather wasn’t in our favor. A highlight for these past six days was our solo day because we got to know our fears and ourselves better. Even though we only spent 22 hours alone because of the weather, it was more than enough to reflect and think. The last two days were exhausting and very wet. We had to go through rain and hail and in consequence our toes were swimming in our shoes. Since we couldn’t complete the whole hike on the second-to-last day of the expedition we had to hike nine miles the day after but we killed it and managed to make it through.
