I had mercy on my children and changed our start time from 6am to 7:30am. Paid the price with full conga line conditions the moment we broke treeline. Once we headed north on Gulfside it was much better but upon return to Jewell in the afternoon it was even worse. Hard to complain about all the people when we were three of them, but it was mildly absurd. Lots of wind and sunshine and friendly hikers-pretty nice up there today! 32/48 for the boy:) |
