This was my girlfriend and I's second time doing this hike, with the first time doing it a year ago. We started at 5AM and maintained a good pace to the top, as we summited in less than 2 hours (much faster than the first time we went together!). It was a breeze this time around, with it only being strenuous for about the last .25 mile. We were the first ones at the top, it was nice and breezy. A beautiful view of the surrounding area with clear skies. On our way down we jogged with short walking breaks here and there. As far as traffic goes, we only came across maybe 15 people in total on our way down. The weather was nice throughout our hike, but it definitely warmed up towards the end.
