Whew!! This was a butt kicking beast of a hike! Tracked over 19 miles & 5400 elevation gain. Trail was in great condition.  Lots of shade on first 2/3 but the last stretch was a closed. Was prob in the 50s up there yesterday but felt like the 90s! Definitely wish I had worn shorts! First time experiencing altitude sickness which kicked in around the burn area and got worse as I made it to the summit. Had plenty of water & electrolytes and even had hydration salt tab but still felt poorly. Thankful to have made it to summit.
Lots of rocks! Stared at 555 am back to car at 6 pm. Will start earlier next time to avoid the heat of the day! Thankful to ✅✅✅this off the list! Peak 7 of the So cal peaks!
