Off to tackle San Jacinto 🩷
ViaggiatoreVery cute shorts! Love the pink theme, have you worn through a pair already?
ViaggiatoreThe pink theme wasn't intentional but I do seem to have a lot of pink 😆 My other shorts were chafing my legs. Hoping these will offer better protection. So far so good!

Today was painfully slow going. The side effects of my altitude medication really knocked me around. Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow. At least the views were epic as I struggled my wayLeggi altro
ViaggiatoreNear constant peeing 😅 Between the tent falling down and the bathroom stops, I was up 9 times in the night. I was exhausted and probably severely dehydrated the next day
