Very fun, and very exhausting. Still recovering.
What I ate during the day:
2 oranges, 3 apples, 3 bananas ...
2 clif bars (260 calories and 42g of carbs per bar) ...
3 PowerBars (210 calories and 42g of carbs per bar) ...
about 120 oz. of water, with 60 of those oz. being fortified by Special K protein water mix (30 calories, 6g of carbs per mixture) ...
We got up at 3:00 am California time, were on the trail at 4:20, summited around 12:30. Started our descent around 2:00 pm, got back down to the trail head around 7:30 pm.

Congrats Matt! You have some serious bragging rights.
you're a machine! way to be!
Sounds like a great trip. How long was the trail you hiked?
do you have any pics of this climb to show off?
Dave,
the trail was 11 miles each way, with a vertical gain of more than 6,000 feet.
Much huffing and puffing.
