Early start

Not getting to the top of stop sign is two fold; one is that it is so freakin hot I just can't move.  The second is kind of the same, because I am slower, I run out of time as you need to do it in two hours before the vans come back down.

In an effort to combat this, I got up at 5:15 and started the hike while it was still dark!
The awesome news?
I took 40 minutes off of my mini time!  I cruised the path.  That was great!

The bad news?
I still couldn't make it up?  My left ankle and knee were really screwed up.

So, I am leaving without making it to the top.  Sucky.
