The hiking was right up my alley. It was awesome to get out in nature. It was an awesome challenge that was much tougher than the YBR.

Great trip! I think Dragon's Tooth was a little "undersold", the cliff ledge toward the top was pretty crazy!

By far one of the most memorable events I’ve taken part of. It’s challenging but the things that aren’t , aren’t worth it in the end.
