This is Dan. So, I went on a backpacking trip over the weekend with some friends to the fifty mile bench. There's only three ways up on top of this beast of a MTN. By the time I got to the top I was ready to throw up. I'm pretty sure I broke some ribs and maybe even poped a inguinial hernia or two.....and yes they do have names. We hiked about 14 miles in one day. You may think that is crazy but if you had a chance to see the views, you would understand why it was all worth it.
