Hiked a hard 15 miles with Louis (pronounced Lou-ie), another sobo thru-hiker from France. We lost 5,748 ft in elevation and gained 5,352 ft over the 15 miles. All day long was switchbacks. We had a lunch break and a nap at a frozen lake where Louis jumped in, submerged, then jumped back out. He forgot to turn his GoPro on, so he jumped back in a second time. I have both incidents on film! Crazy guy it must have been 33 degrees.
Firecreek Pass was one of the worst I've come across yet for the amount of snow and danger in making it to the summit. We made it thanks to having two of us in the attempt. I don't know how I would have done that alone.
Met a hiker named Pie Man on his way up the PCT hiking a big circle around Glacier Peak. Then stumbled the last 5 miles to our camp site here at mile 2525 where we will start in the morning.
