Cousin asked me to help him train for a hard day trip hike he’s doing at the end of this month
So yesterday I took him up (his first time) what is considered one of the hardest hikes in the state. The entire 2nd half from past the beginning 1/4ish point is very steep to the point of bouldering/scrambling/bushwacking and that goes on for 2ish miles. But the view is worth it
Cousin had to stop often which killed our time and made me worried about my water situation. I try to always be way over on water so that way I can give some extra to people/lizards/lizard people. But I went completely through the gallon + 1 liter of water I had brought by the time we got back to the base
It ended up taking us roughly 3.5ish hours to summit at his pace. I wish it were closer to my house so I could go solo, I bet I could get to the summit in 1 hour. But it’s a full hour drive from me so I don’t mind posting pics since it will never be a regular thing some stalker could find me on
Pics are mostly scenery and my cousin and some random dudes climbing one of the steeper parts (and yes that is the only way up at that part). I didn’t get pics of me because cousin was struggling too hard to ask him to do photo ops of me. I do not know any girl who can do this hike
