Another great evening in Paradise
It was 90 degrees when we left the village, and 75 when we returned.
Saw Matt on the Monroe climb, he was stopped looking at a rattle snake.
It was hidden in the bushes, but was buzzing like crazy the whole time we talked.
We continued up to the Maint shack, then back to the Monroe turnaround.
The climb up Reward this evening  was good.
