When an invitation to the Ghost comes along, you generally tend to take it. I prepared in the two days prior. It was a tough 16h day. It was an approach that required much route finding to get past the waterfalls in the slot canyons. Once past that it was another 800m of up in the heat of the day. At least there were plenty of water sources along the way.

Glad you had water sources. I know how much you dislike the heat.
