This was my first peak hike so it tore me up. I was not prepared mentally or physically but have since made some changes for the better! It was a hot day it felt like 100 degrees (for March). I think I got heat exhaustion for sure. I ran out of water before the top and luckily there is water at summit to refill. Coming down my right knee was hurting bad and then my right ankle (started taking glucosamine and collagen and this has not been a problem now). The trekking poles i had were cheapie and have purchased better ones. This was a tiotal learning lesson hike that has taught me to prepare for the rest of the peaks! It took me 9 hours to complete but I was just so stoked to have bagged this peak!!!
