Began at the crack trailhead at 7:55am, and finished at 3:51pm. It rained the majority of the morning, making the rocks slippery to traverse. This trail is highly technical, and I broke both borrowed trekking poles quite early on (sorry mom). The trail surface itself is runnable maybe 60% of the time. I used the GPS file loaded into my watch to stay on course, but it was still very easy to lose the trail as much of it is broken up by quartzite rock faces. The elevation change was toughest on the downhill muscles, a result of constantly stepping down from the rock face. Overall a very scenic and challenging trail.
