I completed my first C2C last year and I'm considering a C2C2C next Sat. I'm in fairly good shape and have decent experience in the mountains. I'm hoping to fast hike it.
Would appreciate any tips you might have for a first timer, particularly in regards to when I should start my descent from the tram. The forecast for next Sat looks to be in the mid-90s in Palm Springs and so I would like to avoid hiking down in the afternoon.
I was thinking of starting around 2 am which will be fine for the ascent. I'm wondering if that puts me in the full brunt of the sun on my descent. is there an ideal time to descend from the Notch?
