After a knee injury a few years back, i became painfully aware of the height of certain steps along the trail. I nicknamed these 3 Tom, Dick and Harry:

So true. I've heard many long distance hiker's attest to preemptive doses of Motrin. It may wreck your kidneys, but hey most of us carry a spare :lol:

on recent return visiti and hike to the top....ok, semi snob on hiking here....the Tram Station to / from Summit is pretty nasty in spot. That is, the large knee up/downs are not fun....and living now in Washington, i found the rock to rock part of that trail (especially on the traverse from Wellmans) to be, uh, painfull.
