Trail was tough for me today. Last visit on April 22,2022 was much easier for some reason

But it was a gorgeous day with tons of people on the trail. I had a goal of beating my last hike time and I added half a mile to my hike since my last visit and shaved 26 mins off my time. Just for fun.

Large group at the peak sharing life stories and kind of all over the peak so I could not get a good sign Pic. I, unfortunately as discreetly as I could while one of the members was reading his stuff, snuck in for a Pic as proof. Weird situation. Just wanted a pic and wished they would have moved over to one side a bit. But all good.

Wonderful weather. Hiked mostly solo even though I was with a group… Just wanted to hike fast and listen to my earplug/audio book.Great day.

Of course I had to hit up El Capitan as well…

Completed the S. D.  6 pop with this hike.
