Ruby couldn't make it to the real summit, so I'll need to go again

Ruby and I roughly followed this route up to the summit (well... almost) of Bear Peak and then down again. This was probably my favorite hike in the Boulder area, so far, and Ruby knocked it out of the park. We were both a little sore the next day, but what're you gonna do?
