"This was an attempt to do what is known as the Trifecta, or Triple Crown hike to Bridge, Rainbow and Wilson in Red Rock. We had cached water the week before the hike which we thought would help us with less weight the day of the hike and that we have plenty of water to get us through the big day. It turned out to be a hot day for a hike like this. All of us where feeling slightly dehydrated, even after consuming all the water we had cached. We knew that it was going to be a tough hike, but for some reason we underestimated it. Doing the three BIG peaks, which two of the members pulled off, was about 8000 feet of elevation gain and nearly 22 miles. The temperature wasn't conducive for such an undertaking for four of us....me included. We made the decision at the turn to go down to Wilson, from the limestone ridge, to return to our shuttle vehicle we had set up the day before and skip Wilson. It was the right decision for us since we felt dehydrated and we wanted to be finished before dark. Congratulations and applause to the two members (Carlton and Cameron) that completed this awesome undertaking. " — Heartattackbruce • Sep 21, 2024
