Mountain Climbing

Climbed this mountain - cerro de silla - with a group of students from the dorm on Monday. We started our adventure at 5 AM :) and after 4 hours of hiking, finally reached the top!! It was super foggy, so I was a little bummed that we couldn't see much of the view. But we definitely got a work out!
