It had been two years since we climbed this for the 2020 challenge.
The weather was cooler with a little frost in the lower areas and in the shade, but very comfortable to hike in.
One of our group had not climbed before and wisely turned around after struggling with the driveway to the trailhead.
This year was easier only psychologically, it is still the hardest of any of the peaks in the challenge, although I believe that some of the return from poverty flats has been re-graded to make it better. (probably from the fire?)
Everything was green, and the first few wildflowers were starting to bloom. Glad to have had the time and health to get this one done!
