At some point this gets easier, right? Right? These last days have been full of challenges. Luckily, I’ve had the perfect commiseration buddy (sorry for the sufferfest Dad!). On Sunday, we summited Mt. San Jacinto (10,800 ft), and then proceeded to lose all of that elevation and descend to the desert floor. The descent was surprisingly tiring, turns out hiking downhill for 10 hrs (including several miles in crampons on snow), is quite hard on the feet and knees.
