| no partners | | Toughest hike I've ever done- but such an amazing experience I want to go back next year. Struggled with altitude, and didn't follow my hike plan, so summiting was tough, but I did it. Meandered easily with little elevation gain in first 30 minutes, then got very steep in the forested portion. Climb didn't let up at tree line, but trail was clear and footing was solid despite some light snow on the ground. From 13,800 on, really tough, had to set step goals and then rest. Very discouraging for a while, but just kept plugging away. Views at the top AMAZING! Highly recommended for all, but not for the faint of heart, nor hiking to get in shape- you need to be ready for this one.
