We doubled down on early and drove out to trail at 3:10AM and started the trail with head lamps at 4:15 AM. Took us about 5 hours to summit Griffith Peak (we were slow getting up the switchbacks). It was just the first part of hike as we had a secondary goal of continuing on at the saddle point on South rim trail and also reaching peak of Mt. Charleston. Weather was good. Cool on trail. A lot of wind passed the saddle point.
