The summit on 08/09/08 was a grand day. 4 friends came up to climb the mountain and we had a pretty good time in the 10 hours of doing so. The rennisance costumes afforded us many interesting questions and comments as well as some grand photos.
I don't think I can adequetly explain the feeling of when I first saw the cluster of people around the summit. Many photos were had and then due to it being foggy and cold we headed back down the hill.
I suspect the warnings about only carrying low weight up the mountain are for those not in shape. As it is I carried about 25lbs of costume up with an additional 10lbs of food/water/misc. I came out of it perfectly fine...we shall just attribute my oddness to the other parts of the trip :)
A big thanks to all that helped in this trip and came out for the big final. Ill be shipping out photos as soon as I can go through them and cull. There is something like 2k photos.

Well done young man....
Hooray, woohoo, congrats to you!
What an amazing accomplishment, Aaron!
Almost a year later: Congrats! Don't know if you remember me, but I was the caretaker at Imp shelter in the Whites when you passed through. You told me about Troll, we swapped thru-hiking stories, and I wrote down your blog address, but I only just found the paper I wrote it on. Hope all's well wherever you are and whatever you're doing post-trail! Have you readjusted? I'm a prime example of someone who has not, and probably never will, and I'm pretty happy about it. How's Troll?
