I hiked in 2022 finally! Thanks Angela for being patient with me ambling along with my short "******" legs! We made it to the top to some stunning views. What sticks in my mind is the beautiful large multiarmed saguaros, superlong views, the scramble (Glad I had the gloves) and the wonderful company in Angela -- it was a long time since we had a good hike & camp!

After the 1st saddle the views were great on the backside ....when I had the gumption to look around

The tread here could use some help in sections - sketchy for the casual hiker for sure. There is a lot of cabled sections - more than I expected. Generally slow go especially if you get caught behind a big group naviating the cabled areas.

All in all - great hike. I'd do it again

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
We did some beautful flowers that looked like an orchid close to the cliff face. That was a new flower to me. What was sad was the micro poppies this year -- I have seen stunning blooms here in years past.
