What a great hike! Started around 4:15ish am. Didn’t get to summit until 11am. Elevation was a butt kicker. Especially the last 2 miles to summit. Stopped to acclimatize and catch my breath quite a bit. It was nice to see the redwood trees, creek and fall colors in our way down since on our way up everything was in the dark. Except it was nice hiking the super steep part at the beginning in the dark 
. As always, great to see the sun rise and the colors in the sky change, as well as see many wonderful people in the trails
