7 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
With time before work this morning, I thought it might be fun to see how quickly I could hike up to Devil's Rest. This isn't normally my type of thing, but I had the itch so I went with it.
I hit Angel's Rest in 40 minutes and continued up, but unfortunately a wasp flew into my shirt and stung me right below my shoulder blade. This made the rest of the trip painful, with my backpack rubbing against the welt. Also, I'm sure the ridiculous "There's a Wasp in My Shirt" trail dance cost me a minute or two.
I summited in 71 minutes for this ~2,440ft/3.6 mile one-way hike.
Given how sorta-close to 60 minutes I got, I wonder if any superhikers out there have done a Devil's Rest summit in under an hour.
