Started and ended at Skyland, going counterclockwise. Got to see sunrise on Stony Man.

I refilled at a water fountain at Pinnacles, and filtered water from 2 stream crossings. Jumped in the river twice to cool down.

Going clockwise was definitely the right call. It meant that the out-and-back climbs were done in the first half, and that there was more water in the second half (during the hotter part of the day).
