Left the trailhead at 5:50am with beautiful clear skies after 3 days of monsoons and road closures. By 11am, the storms reappeared and there was slight hail on the summit and zero visibility. Gee, thanks! Immediately headed back down and completed the dayhike at 7:30pm.

Took Diamoxx for a week prior to the hike and experienced no altitude sickness. However, it ruined my beer afterward. (Screws with the carbonation, apparantly - it tasted disgusting.)
