I signed up to hike this before I knew I was hiking 28 miles the day before. I couldn't bail so I ate well Friday night and went for it. Originally we were going to the Finger Rock Summit and ended up on Mt Kimball. On the way back down we took a spur trail which ended up being an off trail adventure through the over growth between Mt Kimball and Finger Rock. After an agave attack and black tailed rattlesnake viewing we broke through to the Finger Rock Summit spur. The hike/climb up is exciting with ample exposure to keep the adrenaline flowing. After gaining the summit we took the spur trail back to the Finger Rock Trail and strolled down. The trail is easy to find but keeps you honest with many rocks and steps. The morning clouds kept it cool for July and it didn't warm up until we were heading down.
