Today was another perfect day on the mountain we left the portal at 3:04AM made it to the summit at 7:47 AM 4hrs 43 min then back down got to car at 11:43 had a good day . Lots of people out and it looked like most would summit . For those wondering about the cables, they are passable with running shoes and no spikes or crampons , there is a good path through that section. The trail is in great shape all the way to the top No snow , for those day hiking I would recommend leaving in shorts and carry just enough water and food with a wind shell and maybe a light down jacket it makes the climb so much easier just a suggestion .

MW, you obviously climb faster than just about everyone else on the trail. I am curious, how much water do you carry from Trail Camp?

I carry a full Camel back 70 ounces from the Portal so i could estimate i would have about 40 ounces when i leave trail camp.. I always fill up and drink from the rock wall just below trail camp on the way back down or from water source just below outpost camp.
