Very hot day in the sun, luckily it was pretty windy 30-45mph. Trail was loose rocks, steep in many places with many, many switchbacks. Lots of false summits also which can be disheartening. Took advantage of any shade I could find to get out of the blazing sun. Made it up in 2 1/2 hrs. My 4th state highpoint!!!
