The whole idea of having to hold onto railing and climb some slippery rocks has turned me back in the past. But today was different. I wasn't gonna let this mountain scare me.
It's the hardest hike I've ever been on, what with the holding rails and climbing boulders thing. But once you get to the top, you see how peaceful and serene the mountain really is.
Coming down, one of the seasoned regulars told my friend and I we were doing really well. And he asked if I'd come back and I said no.
But now that I'm home, I've changed my mind. It truely was an amazing experience! And I came away with such a sense of accomplishment and pride. I highly recommend this hike to anyone!
Just remember-take a friend for encouragement. And lots of water! I drank my whole camelpak and didn't have any left for the ride home.
