The weather was nice, a little hot but not too bad.  My friend and I started about 7:45am.  We went counter-clockwise like some of the reviews said.  The “rock scramble” mentioned in Alltrails felt more like scaling a cliff to me so it took a really long time.  I am a slower hiker and needed to take breaks when my calf cramped up.  We ate lunch at the summit – windy but nice.  I was so exhausted from the climb that I had to take advil to descend as my legs were already killing me.  Most people take 3 1/2 hours – it took us more like 6.
