Hero Dean v1

My official shoutout to the man who made this Mineral Lakes adventure truly possible. (Drew, I will always appreciate you and I know you would have joined me if timing was a bit better). Dean, Thank you beyond how I can ever express. Please visit me in the PNW, anytime we hang out your beers are on me. Right line of the Hero Dean Boulder starting on a flat hold and figuring out how to bust to the good hold at the lip. I carried 2 big organics, an organic blubber, a 12.5 foot telescoping ladder as well as everything needed for a 2 night stay. I can safely say this was the hardest hike id ever done. Dean and I took a 45 minute nap once we hit the lake. I had to rest nearly every 50 feet for the final parts of this hike. Note its a unmaintained very rocky trail and the difficult terrain makes it even harder. Woof. I think i may need to stop doing these overly epic things or i may perish.
