I thought Mt Sizer was going to be my most challenging hike of the pack but this one beats it. If you dont realize how steep the trail is on the way up your knees will remind you on the way down. There is lots of poison oak, ticks and a prickly plant just past Williams Gulch for at least a 1/4 mi. If you wear shorts just know this section is not forgiving on the legs. It was hot but enough shade to get us thru the hike. Start early! Garmin tracked 20 mi. 5800 ft. elevation gain.

Well done, @jntherrera!
Mt Rose is a “sleeper” peak. It’s surprising how much vertical gain there is!
