6.5 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
What a friggin climb. Hot and humid, no breeze... at least there was solitude. Only saw 3 people all day and had the summit to ourselves. Counterclockwise rotation, spur to Kings Mtn summit, scary steep sliding rocks decent down across KM Jr (bring poles and maybe spikes), and back. Summit of KM was gorgeous and covered in flowers, but views were limited. When they say steep in the trip reports thay MEAN it and there is currently a small creek ford on WRT just west of the WRT KMT junction. Some days we hate climbs... :)
