That pretty much describes it. I am impressed that you climbed during such a hot season. I recommend (and I have hiked it) in the Spring. Even though it is virtually a highway of a trail, don't discount the elevation gain. Iit's a great warm-up for a big trip. Congratulations.
Hi jcsesica:
Thank you very much for the comments. Yeah, it was a hot day to climb....but, as you know, as long as you reach the summit, everything else fades away, doesn't it?
Thanks again,

I very much appreciate the write up. I will be doing a summit attempt here in preparation for Mount Whitney later this summer. This account is helpful in my planning process.
