The first 2/3 is a solid hike with great views, and just when u think you must almost be done you get to \"the saddle\". If u are tired consider stopping here. The last portion of the hike is scrambling up rocks. So yes I got to the top , and it was gorgeous but what goes up must come down. Be really careful. I saw tons of people slip. After the hike I read a bunch of articles about people getting airlifted out including a former nfl player. It's a great workout and really beautiful but be safe, know your limits! The airlift rescue won't be a very cool Instagram pic \n\nAlso, on my way down at marker 6/35 a fairly fit couple asked if they were almost to the top. Ummmm no. They turned around at that point. Don't give up that soon!"^^ .
