This was a tough climb for me. I got started out too late in the day (as you can tell by the shadows starting from the sun setting). I was dark by time I descended to the bottom. In retrospect it was good since learned a number of lessons from this climb. But this mountain kicked my out of shape butt. (2011-12-04).   Edit Photo Info
