Uphill both ways!!

Started solo, but met some friends at the summit.  Threw in El Capitan on the way up and hit the mines on the way down.  Adds less than a mile to the overall hike

Perfect weather going up, got a little warm on the way back.

The uphills were not fun, on the way back, but they really weren’t too bad.  I’ve heard so much complaining about this hike, that I expected the worst.  Think that helped mentally cause it really wasn’t that bad.

Spent over 7 hours out there today, but less than 6 actually hiking.
