It was a gloomy morning, the sun peeked through a few times but roughly 30 degrees. I wore yoga pants and sweat pants over along with a long sleeve and turtleneck sweater. It got very cold and windy once we reached the top! One of my favorite parts was seeing all sorts of fungi and little gecko friends. In our group of four, it was very tiring but we merely stopped for 3 minute breaks so we could reach the top in good time. The steepness is treacherous and coming down we tried to run it a bit which led to a slight ankle injury sadly. But we pushed on! And still finished in 7 hours and 30 minutes. The end incline of pavement feels like a victory but it is a long way up.

Did you hike yesterday? Saturday 3/24? Our group was there too, we’re getting ready to post. It was soooooooooo cold at the summit, I think we were there 5 minutes max! Great job! That was a seriously challenging hike!
Yes we were! It definitely was strenuous!
