The weather on the mountain is ❄️crisp❄️
Even more crisp is the terminations on this beauty collected from the lower ledge this summer! Sharp!There is also a sweet curved melt face in the center of the one skeletal face⚡🩵💎🩵⚡

Down below us is a pond,( It is a bird sanctuary off of the bike trail) It is visible at the end of this video,
The native translation is Blue Waters... We suspect because of the way the water is extraordinary blue, We named this low ledge - Blue Waters because of the perfect view of it below✨ 💙💎💙✨
