Hiked Picketpost with Reagan and her friend, Hunter, who also attends the same wrestling prep high school. He’s hiked one other time in his life—Flatiron—so I figured he’d be fine. Got started a little before 0800 to a surprisingly mostly empty parking lot. I think we saw three other hikers on our way up. Had the summit to ourselves. The teens did great thru all the scrambling, both up and down. Saw about a dozen hikers on our descent, including a group of several women who did not really seem to understand where they were or anything about the hike. I suspect they did not make it much farther before turning around. Tried out some new shoes, Aku Rockets, they were very grippy. A little stiffer than the Salomons. Good for scrambling for sure, will have to see how they are on longer hikes next. Warm temps for the morning.
