This will be one of the hardest 2 point hikes you'll do in San Diego. It's up hill both ways.

I did this in February, when it was supposed to be cool in preparation and training for a Grand Canyon hike. The trail is heavily trafficked and no issue. It can be slippery when crossing the granite slabs with sand on them, I went down a couple of times.

I'm smiling in the picture to the right because I didn't know what was coming. I had no issues with the hike up but while I was playing radio, the valve on my water tube was open, draining my water bladder of it's contents. I ran out of water half way back and we had a heat wave pass through. I was miserable. I was amazed at how many people do that hike with a small sports bottle.

I would NOT recommend this summit in the heat. You'll see that I've activated it only one time... I wonder why. 🙂
