This was my first hike after my sub five day JMT fastpacking trip. I found the route on Summit Post and downloaded the GPX file from FastestKnownTimes.com. After summiting She Devil and scrambling up to He Devil (both summits), I realized I was on pace to break the FKT. I increased my pace to return to the trailhead in 6hrs and 25min.

 

Notes:

- The route is not well marked - I did nearly the entirety of the hike with my phone out to navigate

- This route can be completed in sub 4 hours if you are familiar with the route

- I did not run a step (my body is still in shambles from the JMT)

- The scramble from She to He Devil is rad - do not attempt if you dislike exposure

- The time on my watch when finishing - PLEASE NOTE: my watch was in Pacific Time. I finished at 3:10pm NOT 2:10pm
