Great job!

When I was 16 in 1994 (now 46) my friend and I camped there and hiked to constatation lake at the start of the steep switch backs. It was an amazing hike. Back then you didn't need a stupid pass to hike the lands that belong to us!

6/24/24, first time ever for me and I summited it. It was wonderful and magical. So proud of myself. Your video brought me flashback

Good video. You folks made amazingly good time for a couple of old farts. My average time was 16 hrs. in my early 50's. I am hoping to do it again sometime if not for recent circulation problems in my legs. I can at least still make the hike to Lone Pine Lake for now.

How do you train downhill? More hiking?
