Loved this hike, started really early at 5am in the moonlight, without headlamp. Went up devil's backbone and down ski hut so counter-clockwise! There is almost no shade on devil's backbone, so the earlier you start the better in the summer! I carried 4 liters of water and drank 3, but I always bring reserves. Always carry layers on a high alpine hike, it was chilly at the summit, you are after all above 10,ooo feet! I left at 5am and was back at the parking lot at 11am, with a steady pace and only 45 min of breaks in total. Great bucket list SoCal hike!
