Dear Diary,

I have climbed many a mountains in my time, but none make me want to kms more than lone peak- with zero sleep and in chacos, starting at 1 AM instead of 6 AM as originally planned, we were having a grand ole’ time until about 2:30 AM when my head lamp died and then my gal pal and I got lost. For the next three hours, we bush whacked over three ridges. While we were lost, we struggled between feeling extreme determination to concur this mountain and myriad amount of suicidal thoughts. My watch also died on the way down. I do not recommend hiking this after spending 10 hours in a car driving back from San Diego and eating Mexican food. 10/10 worst hike ever.
