The W-Las Torres-The Grand Finale!

Here is a view from the top of the first hill. It was an hour and a half striaght up. I don't know if he is super-human or what, but Levi was barely tired. I was dying. I think it proves he really could have carried more stuff and he's just a big whiner. But maybe I'm jealous. He just scurried up the mountain like "Hey, this is easy," and there I am, panting and wheezing my way up the hill. He told me he didn't look back because he could hear me coming. Nice.What we worked so hard to see. Los Torres, or The Towers. We met some people on our way up who told us that in the morning it was snowing and they couldn't see anything. While we were there it started to snow, too, but just a little.
Here we are in front of the Torres. I am freezing, it is really windy and I am still trying to catch my breath! To get here was a 45 minute climb straight up granite boulders. Again, people vaguely referenced the last half hour as a climb, but they could have been more specific!
Can you see the trail? It's all fend for yourselves, find a boulder to get over and heave yourself up!
Levi practically skipping down- he had way too much fun!
The view into the camp where Las Torres are. Part of the trail is there on the left.
Our little boulder piles at the top of the climb.
It seems to be a tradition to leave a boulder pile at the top, as you can see here...
Near the end of the hike, the rest is downhill from here. We are exhausted but we did it!
Total: 40.5 miles in 4 days

40.5 miles?!?! That's insane. You guys are awesome! The pictures are beautiful...though I'm sure they do not justice to what you experienced.
