Thank God for Headlamps

Started this hike at 5:30AM and finished at 7:30PM. We made sure to nice and bundled up at the start of the hike, but when the sun came up we starte to shed layers due to increasing warmth. Overall, the weather was perfect; it felt like it was in the mid 70s. The hike up was long and slow due to the nature of being in a group with each person having different fitness levels. But overall I felt really good the whole hike, and due to the slower pace I would say the hike was a piece of cake. The only rough part for me was the wear and tear of my joints with being on my feet all day. The summit was quite cold and windy, but it provided stellar views all around. Definitely a cool hike. This will not be my last time here.
