Remembering a First Ascent - Our 4 year old explorer!

Blast from the past! Here's another look at Expedition 12-01 where we reached the highest point in Maryland - Backbone Mountain! I am moving this post over from another website so that I can share it here on the dAdventure blog. This climb was great. It was a very cold day and we did it anyways. Great motivation to keep climbing through all of the snow which was thigh deep sometimes for a 4 year old!

Post from January 2012 -- Youngest member (RKW) of Expedition 12-01 summits Maryland's highest peak unassisted, Official time of summit 1427 (2:27pm)! Youngest climber of 2012 and possibly EVER to climb the peak unassisted at four (4) years old! ----January 14th, 2012, Near Silver Lake, Maryland, Hoye Crest, Backbone Mountain: Dadventure Expedition and Science Club's first expedition of 2012 resulted in great success today with the youngest of the two-explorer group reaching the summit first. Thigh deep snow and 15 degree weather gave the climb an additional edge of adventure. Congratulations to Expedition 12-01! NOTE: This is also RKW's first lifetime summit.
