On the Cover: Pike flag raised over Yosemite -
On the night of September 20, 2008, a group of Pikes from Kappa Nu Chapter (University of the Pacific) left for Yosemite National Park and started hiking from the base of Half Dome at midnight. Using the full moon for light, the entire group successfully reached the summit just in time to watch the sunrise. The mile of vertical climb from the base to summit left the entire group exhausted but full of great stories. From left: Kevin Heidorn ’04, Jason Balatti ’04, Kyle Campiotti ’06, Parker McAndrews, Brian Hutchinson ’08, Julian Coletta ’08, Connor Halberg ’07, Steven Tarantino ’06, Andrew Basham ’08, George Whitney ’07, Mark Weiner ’04, Tarn MacArthur ’06, Ben Matheny ’02.
