Today proved to be a very difficult day. The number of ups and downs and the rugged rocks made it that way.
Today I had to deal with the famous lemon squeezer. This little notch led to it.
Then I had a work my way through the thin chimney. Most people have to take their packs off and pull them through. But I was able to put my water bottles in my pack and my poles in my side pockets and make my way up through the squeeze chimney.
Then I climbed the short face with a layback (instead of taking the easy go around).
This is my second day in Harriman State Park. It's really quite beautiful.
There are many great views.
By 7:30 I had enough. It was a difficult day again. So I camped on top of the mountain at West shelter. A few hours later thunderstorm rolled through. But my Lightheart So Long tent weathered it very well.
Distance. 16.2 miles
Total distance. 1392.7
