After leaving around 6:15am to beat the sun, this was our last look back down towards Phantom Ranch.

Switchbacks in Hell

This section of switchbacks basically did my knees in on the way out and it was really only around the halfway point.

Look Back

Once leaving this section behind, it was on towards the final push to the top and looking for any shade we could find.
