Curt Schilling

My friend and I started today’s hike with the goal of hiking to Mount Charleston. But when I aggravated the blister on my right heel (um, think Curt Schilling’s sock in the 2004 ALCS), I decided that 17 miles wasn’t in the cards, so we hiked to a closer peak instead.

I hiked Mt. Charleston two years ago. The climb to the ridge is steep, but it’s well-graded and is not *too* steep imho. The final push to the top of Griffith is probably the steepest part of the hike, but it’s relatively short.
