I climbed this one last challenge and was hesitant to do it again because I knew what I was in for.  It was a cool, pretty day and I was glad to be getting out into nature again. Being President's Day, the trail was fairly busy but we had a nice stretches to ourselves. Although one of our trio of hikers had some difficulty managing the first couple of miles due to severe leg cramps (I know he is creeping on my page, so have to mention him) he soon worked them out (with a pit stop to allow some pressure point relief) and we made it to the top. That last Quarter mile plus did not disappoint and the views reminded me why I loved this hike the first time! A little breezy at the peak while we refueled and the view was somewhat overcast, but beautiful all the same.
