Hardest Damned Hike  Sucess!

It took 16 hours but I did it! In January the snow was serious enough to turn to ice and seriously impeded our progress. Take crampons and ice axes if you are going in the winter.

This sucked..  Sucess!

C2C definitely brought out the man in me! Sucked while doing it, but in retrospect it was an amazing experience.

Long day  Sucess!

November was the perfect time for this hike. Not too cold in the morning, not too hot on Skyline, nice temps and no wind at the top. Started at 7am, got to the tram at 4:45pm.

C2C  Sucess!

A perfect June weather window opened and I took advantage. Went solo with an early a.m. start. Up to the tram was uneventful and after a quick break on up to the summit.

Year 2  Sucess!

This year's C2C was almost an hour faster than last year's, and we tacked on some bonus peaks for added measure!

Finally!  Sucess!

Did Skyline first the year before, couldn't wait to do this one. Snow line started during the traverse just below Coffman's Crag. Great route!

Cactus to clouds  Sucess!

C2C  Sucess!

Decided to go solo so I could take the uphill as quick as I wanted, but ended up hiking with another solo goer on the trail. Took me 5 and a half hours to make it from the Desert Museum to the summit with a quick break at the top of the skyline trail. Love this route! Can't wait to do it again.

Absolutely beautiful, C2C  Sucess!

Snow started at 5700', and made the day tougher, but the scenery (with clouds below) was memorable.

A Grueling Hike  Sucess!

I thought I was in good shape until a few miles into this hike. I was carrying supplies for another hiker and myself, so my pack weighed in at 45lbs. My legs felt it all the way up. Great sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit!

Cactus to Clouds

You need to bring lots water! We had two 200plus guys drink 7 liters of water getting to the tram. We left the Museum parking lot at 5 AM. Tried to summit up old trail up Tamarack Valley following stream. Lost trail in slush, downfall, etc. Still a great day!
