We started at the Patricia trailhead. Due to the shortness of the trail and my familiarity with this hike, I decided to wear the weighted vest. I was able to hike pretty quickly the whole way up. The trail was pretty well maintained and not that overgrown. The only issue was that the trail was quite rocky, so being aware of your footing was important. We summited in under and hour and got some pretty sick views of Madonna Mountain and LOVR in the distance. We went down, and the rocky switchbacks definitely battered my knees a bit, but it was a good hike overall.
