Climbing Guadalupe Peak, Texas |
 I woke up more than half-an-hour before my alarm was due to go off, and thus got up at 3:07 am on Monday morning, 3 October 2016. I opted for an “alpine start” both because I had a long way (over a hundred miles) to drive in order to get to Guadalupe Peak and because I wanted to avoid the heat of the day and possible thunderstorms while I was on the mountain. |
