Rain was not in the forecast but of course they were wrong. We got caught in a few downpours which made the trails super slippery. If you didnt have trekking poles you probably slipped on your butts! I did of course before my wife graciously let me use one of the poles. There are some really steep sections that you hit coming and going, and the final ascent to the summit is done by bouldering and rock hopping. Im glad we finished it. Visibility was bad so we couldnt take in the views and oh was it cold and windy at the top. But we bagged it and claimed our 6th peak!
