Started out at the Chantry Flats parking lot at around 6:30 AM, we lucked out getting there when we did, the parking filled up amazingly fast right after we got there! This is my fourth time doing this particular hike, and the only time I've ever been able to park in the parking lot. Weather was good, on the cooler side with a high of around 59, but that ends up being perfect when you've worked up good body heat. Overall ascent time was excellent, logged in on Strava at 2 hours 29 minutes, and 4 hours 10 minutes for the entire hike (gotta take it easy on the way back down!) I love this mountain and encourage anyone to do it, as it is accessible for just about anyone and can be hiked year round (I was in terrible shape on my first climb in 2015!).
