It was hard. I wanted to turn back and head down the mountain, but Patti told me that I would be so happy when I got to the top, and she told me how beautiful it was, so I wanted to see. When we got to the top, there was a book that you sign, and this is what I wrote: "Zane Smith. I am 7 years old. I made it, and I am very proud of myself, and I am proud of you too."
The toughest part was when we peaked the mountain, and the best part is when we got to the top. I need better shoes to hike in. My feet were hurting a little bit, and my mom forgot to tighten my pants, so they were a little big.
I want to hike Mount Charleston soon.
