Miles hiked: 23.5
Campsite: base of glen pass
Weather: 50s and sunny
One word to describe the day: insane
I decided I wanted to set myself up with the option to sunrise hike Mt Whitney, so I decided to push myself today. I summited two passes. Pincho pass and Glenn pass. Today had over 5500 ft of elevation gain. Tomorrow will be very similar. It's been really hard days but I must say it feels really cool to push myself so hard. As I was going up Glenn pass around 5:30 p.m. a guy passed me and said "isnt it too late to be going up a pass?" I said 'I've got it, thanks for your concern." As I proceeded to practically run up glen pass to get to the other side before sunset 😅.
I ran into some more PCT friends that were going nobo. It's so fun to see them come by me at the end of this stretch. I'm almost to Whitney!!Read more
