solo. my parents thought i was crazy for hiking alone and camping out in a wind storm, but then again, they drive their car to the mailbox a block away.  so hiking four and half miles straight up, seems crazy. 
it was nice to have the time to hang out in such a beautiful place and take it all in.

Some buddies of mine actually played hack-e-sac on that spot with the pyramid (said it was a bit difficult). I am a bit jealous. I have heard such good things about guadalupe peak.

i bet it's even better when it isn't so cold out. i'm not quite sure the wind ever dies down though, so i would imagine hack-e-sac would have been quite difficult indeed.
if you ever get close, i definitely recommend it. it's a great hike.
