The first 1/2 mile for me was pure adrenaline but soon wore off as both Paul and I realized the pace of what's to come. We hiked for about an hour in the twighlight and made it to the place we call "McTyeire Grove" - named after the dorm at Vandy. We unpacked in this small campsite and put up tents and started a fire in the fire ring already there. As we enjoyed the fire we cooked dinner on the Svea stove along with some strong coffee I made up by pouring grounds in the pot and letting settle to pour into cup with powdered creamer. That night we slept well, although we both woke up to roll and reposition against the ground many times. The next morning we woke around 9 and started the Svea swiftly to cook freeze dried eggs and coffee. We hit the trail after packing up the site, but not before we were greeted by two groups - one group of 3 each with border collie on leash - and one single guy around 50 moving swiftly by himself behind them. As we started the more aggressive ascent from around 2000 ft msl heading for the lookout at 5249 msl, our bodies found the rhythm, albeit slow and methodical, which led us to slowly upward on the morning of our second day.
