During my 10-minute break at the top I had a great phone call with Dave, letting him know I'd arrived safe & sound at the top and would be just as careful on my return trip down as I had been on my trip up. My trip up took 1.75 hours, but that included stopping to take over 100 pictures and briefly talking with the group of hikers. I didn't think I'd have to take as many pictures on the way down since I'd already taken one from what probably feels like to you, just about every angle of every section of path that I walked, but I still managed to see new things that caught my eye going down.
