In which I finally do a >30 mile hike

What’s worse than an uphill battle? A downhill battle. Downhill is supposed to be the easy part, damnit. But if I wanted easy I probably shouldn’t have taken the harder variation on what’s considered the 5th hardest day hike in America (it’s not; whoever decided that it was explicitly harder than Whitney has seriously flawed assessment criteria and/or superhuman lungs). Like all type 2 fun, I spent the majority of the hike down wondering why I didn’t just take the tram, but as soon as I was back at the car not only was I immensely glad I hadn’t, I was thinking about how I’d do it better in the future. I’m a slow learner.
