This is a difficult hike, more of a difficult rock climb for 2/3 of it. I feel like I had to learn a lesson; I’m always on it with nutrition and prep, but not today. Didn’t even eat breakfast which turned into my kryptonite. Blood sugar tanked halfway up and took me to the top to recover. Horrible lesson to learn the hard way, but it happens. 100% my fault so I will give the “trail” another chance next year.
The hike itself is really technical which is mostly fun but can be scary here and there on the way down. A lot of route finding and if you are going – stay to the left on the way up!
