Sitton Peak to start the year

Happy New Year!

Starting off 2025 with hike up Sitton peak. Using this as a baseline for overall fitness since I’ve been feeling off the last couple of hikes. It was 52 and foggy when I left San Clemente and in the mid 70’s when I got to the candy store and for some reason that lot is closed and only street parking, which I scored the last one. Much warmer day than I expected so I dropped most of the clothing I brought with me. Felt like a beautiful fall day and I made really good time, only moving a little slow on the final .3 up to the summit. All in all a good start to 2025.
