That's great sens of humor and I like it but still no one answer any of my questions but that's ok too I am one of those hikers that doesn't give up so me and my friend Mauricio made yesterday to the top. Thank God and some really nice people that we met at the trail

I'm glad you guys made it fine. I didn't do Skyline last week or I'd have answered your question. If you do it regularly we'll probably run into each other out there on the trail. Great job, both of you.

No problem, I have done skyline three times before but not when there is snow up there so I was a little concern . It took us 8 1/2 hours but we ended up having a great day . I am regular hiker so don't be surprise if we run to ech other sometime

Thanks! Yes, the last 1000 ft. there was snow and it was icy. We definitely used the microspikes.
