I’m exhausted. The hardest part for me was Dragon’s Tooth. It kicked my ass on Day 1. Is it hard scrambling while pushing and pulling a 50 lb dog up a rock wall for almost a mile? Very. And scary (don’t look down or you’ll fall off). The AT trail out from Dragon’s Tooth was hard too (it was all hard and constantly terrifying) because it was scrambling and bouldering along the top ridge of a mountain with a pack on and my dog with his pack on. Overall, it had its ups and downs (get it) and at most times, it was intense (pun intended). I hurt all over and want to sleep forever.
(Also: Peep that page in the logbook at the shelter)
