A tough, humbling route with no shortage of climbs, the biggest one being right at the start of the route. Mostly technical, but diverse trails with a few smooth sections, one paved. The terrain makes it easy to miss a turn here and there, which I was successful at. Weather was hot and humid so I was treated with pretty hazy views, but still worth a quick stop. At the start I knew it was a gamble heading out with only one 20oz handheld given the weather conditions. Yep, you guessed it, I lost that bet. Ran out of water and the heat put a whooping on dat ass. I earned myself a dip in the pool at Bear Mountain (thankfully it was open!), and a quite tasty loaf of banana nut bread. All in all it was another fun morning in the woods!
