Today as in the past I only made it to the first peak.  I took me 3 1/2 hours to top out at roughly 3100'.  At this point you begin to see the Lapalapa tree with it's leves blowing in the wind.  Check out THIS video.

I took a long break here at the first summit clearing.  I was kind of pooped coming up here on only 3 1/2 hours of sleep. No I won't say why :-).
