Pittsburgh MCG - Ivy - Day 4

At the beginning of this trip, conquering Bunsen Peak was just a goal in my mind. It was looming overhead the past couple days threatening us with destruction, but in the end we destroyed it. It was awesome having so much energy and passion to climb up the mountain and it was what was keeping us going. Throughout the hike one person would carry a single brick, and another would ask them if they could take it to remove the burden. It was an experience for all of us that made us trust each other more! Once we arrived at the top, it was breathtaking. The view was mountains EVERYWHERE. The clouds cast amazing shadows on the ground, and you could see the snow on the peaks of the mountains. It’s something that I will remember forever and will look forward to seeing it again. Whether or not it’s in 5 years or 20 years, from this day on I am making a promise to myself to come back. This has been a trip that I will carry throughout my life and will never share the same experience and feelings as I did with this group again.
