I continue to be impressed with youth... the hike started around 6k feet elevation and topped out just north of 9k. There were several 11/12 year old dudes that you would not expect to do much that finished the hike. The first 1.5/2 miles are a brutal with cutbacks and steep steps.
Those kids still had a ton of energy after it was over. Crazy.
I think most of the dads are thankful we don't do this more than twice a year.
