Two weeks post C2C and the only memories I have now are the happy ones.. so basically I don’t remember the hike at all.. seriously though, challenged differently than I’ve ever been challenged, it’s officially my longest hike and greatest elevation ever climbed.. Reducing to 10 photos might have been the toughest part, so here is the most concise recap in all of history, before/during: (1)happy and ignorant of what is before us (2) kicking off the hike at 1:30 am (3) 5 hours into the hike, the sunrise was unreal and so different than I’ve witnessed before.. beautiful, deep oranges and reds! I think we were about 5000 feet up! (4) reality hitting me lol (5) hiked out of the desert, we are in forest, very cool changes in the land over the whole hike! (6) almost at the top (except I said that for 4 hours.. the incline never ended) (7) this was gonna be a cute pic of me with the sign but one didn’t exist (the cute part) so you just get the sign
#madeit (8) too tired to be happy 😂 (9) cool google earth of the hike thanks to the more tech savvy than I, Clayton (10) STATS.. highlighting 22 miles, 13000 climb, 6000 down (to the tram to ride all the way down), 16 hours.
