After turning away from the summit on July 30th, I spent a week and half itching to complete this route. There was not a cloud in the sky, so I could not be thwarted by Humphrey's on this day. Made summit in approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes (I didn't check my time until I had been on the summit for about 10 minutes). I think I have a love-hate relationship with the weather when climbing this peak. The times that I have found it most beautiful are when a storm is a-brewin', which also makes me very nervous. When it's sunny, there's no question about making the top, but the views seem much more bland. Maybe it's all the haze and dust? It's definitely getting dry up in these parts; the monsoons need to kick in again. Descended using the summit trail, which had it's usual crowds and cast of characters.
