This thing is no joke.
Back in October, I attempted a hike up this mountain. I made it 10 minutes before I had to turn back around like a little biatch.
This past Saturday, I woke up rather early, and felt inspired. Strong. I packed up my Camelbak for Camelback.
Couple things to note. If you get there at 7:00AM, the parking lot will be full, and you will have to park off 56th street and walk one mile.
Pack lots of water. If you have a Camelbak, bring extra in bottles, just in case. Also, if you are doing this solo, like I did...bring headphones, and a playlist with a ton of songs.
This hike is pretty challenging. Its only 1.2-1.5 miles each way, but it's practically a rock climb for many different parts. The hardest parts are at the very beginning. Use the rails or the fence, and you will be fine.
Don't give up on his hike. You WILL get to the top. If an obese man like me can do it, so can a sexy individual like yourself. Hop to it tiger. Show us your tiger's blood.
Oh yeah...and about the water. When I got to the top, my Camelbak was empty. I had to spend 90 minutes going down without water.....Pack extra.
