It took me about 2 hours and 45 minutes to go up. Slow comparing to those who are conditioning for climbing Mt. Rainier. However, it's my best.

Tiger Mtn.
The first time I hiked Tiger Mtn. via cable line. It's quite tough. It took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach summit.

Tenerife

It might be the first nice day for 2011. All hikers are out. I could not find a parking spot in the Mt. Si trail head so I tried Tenerife. Hiked up about 2 hours. I turned back when the trial began to be covered by snow. This is the second failed attempt for me to reach the summit of Tenerife.
