Started at 5:30 am with head lamps on it is a steady incline up to the camp sits …. a few super narrow trail areas so if you have fear of heights bring some one who will help you through it. After we took a small potty break at the small campground we head up a couple more hills and got to the cabin with the big swing and filled up our water. Then up up up up!!!! we went a couple people had to stop due to the their muscles seizing including me it took us 5 hours to get to the top it was extremely exhausting but there was lots of shade so that helps. there was no bug problem in feb, until the last few steps to the top there were lots of bees but they wanted nothing to do with us so just walk quickly past them. The top was clear and beautiful and the cafe was closed but the bathroom were open so the was nice. We went downt it took 2 1/2 hours got to enjoy the views more sense I was not about to pass out like I was on the way up …. we got down around 4:40 pm so took about 10.5 hours to complete and at the end I could barely walk but with all that said it was a great experience I could look back on and be happy I did it with amazing group friends 1st peak done 5 more to go …..!
