Day 18 : Climbing

7th May 2013
Mile 218 to mile 240 : Whitewater preserve to mission camp
Mileage : 22 + .5

Today we climbed. Over 6500feet. It hurt. Especially the last hour. I learned later that the descent off mt san jacinto another climb into the san gorgornio mts is he biggest elevation change of the whole pct, and it shows. Thoroughly exhausted we arrived into camp at about 7pm and started shivering. As soon as i stop hiking my body just stops producing energy and i shiver until i eat enough to warm up again. Thankfully though we are mostly done with climbing for a while,tomorrow is supposed to be all downhill.

  2. It sounds like there is no Brioche left to draw sustenance from these days. Just as well, you wouldn't want to have hauled it up 6500 ft.
