Hike #5 of of 5 of the PHX5 Phoenix Summit Challenge. It was sunny at the start but there were some ominous clouds to the north and west. About half way up started getting a few raindrops. Continued on to the top. The rain wasn't enough to get us really wet, but it did cool us down which felt nice. Made good time both up and down. Legs were definitely feeling it on the way up toward the top, but kept going.

The triplog stats are wrong. Total time was 2:21 including a ~8 minute rest at the top. I didn't stop Route Scout at the end. I used the route editor to delete a couple hours of the URock party and the drive out. The route editor showed the correct time, but the times didn't update in the triplog. :( Also the AEG should have been around 1000' per my watch, but that may be because I didn't put my phone in airplane mode.
