Went around 3 on a Tuesday afternoon. Plenty of parking and perfect weather. Passed about the same amount of people that passed me on the way up, so I guess I'm pretty mediocre.

Warm October afternoon, brought plenty of liquids and took plenty of rest stops. Gorgeous views and desert plants - a lot of bang for your buck with this one!

Dizzying / Crazy busy
Did this after Piestewa with the whole family; would reccomend starting earlier than 9am this time of year because it is hot. Gains over 1000 feet per mile so quite steep. Crazy amount of people, felt like being part of a human anthill. Scrambles are frequent but totally unexposed so just watch your step, bring lots of water, and enjoy the view on top!

This got me into mountain climbing
Climbed this mountain for my fourteenth birthday. Watching the sunrise up here literally converted me into a mountaineer. Great easy hike.

Camelback Santa
Took the Cholla Trail up and down. Fun hike with great views of the city. A guy dressed as Santa awaited climbers at the top and gave out candy canes and took pictures next to a fully decorated Christmas tree!

Finally...
...did I get this after living in Phoenix for almost 2 years. I found a couple of hours on Thanksgiving to sneak out and climb. It was actually quite fun with good views.

1st Time Up Echo - 20:27
Ran and scrambled hard today but couldn't get under 20 minutes unfortunately. It's a holiday today and super busy though, but I don't know how much of a difference it really makes. My wife made it up in 28...pretty impressive! Painful, but super fun and a beautiful day on top :)

Took the Echo Canyon trail. Started at 5pm, 102 degrees. Lots of people. Interesting trail. 40 mins to the top. Great views. Stayed till the sun was down. Probably won't go back. Been there done that.
