Flattened by FlatIron

I got my butt kicked. Glad I invested in a water bladder backpack, because it was a warm day. So dang gorgeous though. There was still water running from the snowmelt, and it created some little waterfalls. My phone died about halfway up so I wasn’t able to get any peak shots plus it was pretty late in the day. I ended up doing some parkour trailrunning on my way back so I wouldn’t completely lose light, and get stuck. I would definitely start earlier and bring a flashlight. perhaps some gloves as well. met some hardcore oldschool hikers that were very friendly and helpful with direction. definitely a favorite. Will be better prepared next time.
