Would you say that the Trough is the most dangerous and most challenging part of the hike? Even worse than the Home Stretch?
@septembertwenty-nine9989 Күн бұрын
I did this hike to the top four times. The first time taught me that my body doesn't handle altitude very well. I got acute altitude sickness (vomited 4 times) starting at the top. Getting down was the only way to get better. After that experience, my doctor prescribed DIAMOX. It drains the brain of accumulated fluid due to not processing oxygen efficiently. It speeds up the altitude acclimation process. The last time I hiked to the top of Longs Peak, a blood vessel in my right eye burst while descending the home stretch. It was like looking through inky black fingers in front of my face. It cleared up within a half hour. My wife made it to the top 2 times. None of our four children have attempted Longs Peak because of the danger.

It’s not just Ohio, everyone I know has to work their ass off to make ends meet and over the last 4 years it seems like prices have doubled and income stays the same. Most of the activities that I enjoy and show on here are relatively inexpensive, mostly hiking and camping that isn’t very far from home.

@adventuresofMomDadGirlWhiteDog I bet the fall temperatures are much better. It actually wasn’t too hot at the South rim, tent camped (because I rode my motorcycle) at Mather Campground which was very nice.

Did this back in 2016 and had a permit to camp in the boulder field which was awesome. Incredibly windy which sometimes you don’t feel until you peak through the keyhole which was like walking into a wind tunnel the day we hiked it. Most challenging part was getting from the trough to the narrows as it snowed a few inches early that season (sept) and the rocks were incredibly slick from snowmelt. Had to find a less appealing and more dangerous route as we kept slipping where you normally wedge yourself through that part which would’ve been simple had it not been for the slick rocks. All in all, super fun hike and just need to be incredibly present and should be just fine. The narrows can be terrifying for those scared of heights but I found it easy to comfortably grab the rocks facing the other direction and the path is wider than it looks if you just check out pictures. However, that derailed my friend due to his fears and I had to finish the narrows and homestretch solo which was incredibly peaceful as I was the only one on the summit that day. Summit is about the size of a football field made out of boulders, ha. Then comes the realization that you have to go back down 😂
