6.3k ft of elevation gain forced me to call it a 5. Plus we broke Wendy.

The first five people finished the hike around the estimated 7 hours. Last ones hobbled in an hour and ten minutes later, which isn't such a big gap for a 20 mile hike.

Paved start

Ramage Peak looks close. . .but have to go down and come up the other side
