 | Comments: |
A hot and humid hike. I had sweat dripping off me from everywhere. It rained the night before so the rocks were a little bit slippery. After the second stream crossing is where the trail gets steeper. Although the steepness isn't really intense. There is only one actual rock scramble on this trail ( the wall as I call it ) which.....take a left and bushwhack around IMO. Summit views weren't bad. There is a canister at the summit now. That's new from last year. Don't over tighten the closure. I had a heck of a time trying to get it open. |
