| no partners | | My hardest hike in a very long time, and because you have to carry all of your water going up, my heaviest pack, too. Hot, sunny, long, beautiful, expansive, tiring, and finally annoying, but I did it up and down, finishing after dark and with no tram cheating. This is only the town to tram hike, not to the Peak, but I couldn't do that. Besides, I would prefer to enjoy some time up there if I come back to hike to the summit.
I carried a lot of food and 6 liters of water. Needed it all going up, but only 3 down. Also, I had a 12 oz NY Strip Steak on top, which was awesome to do. I'm in pretty good shape, but won't run out and do this anytime soon, again. 6 hours up, including numerous breaks, over an hour on top, and then 4 1/2 hours down. Not bad, I think. |
