Great pics, wish I could have been there with you!!
The Lemon Squeezer was a squeeze. Three other hikers were there and offered to let me hand them my pack, so that helped me fit through the squeeze. However, all I ever read about was the squeeze. I didn't realize there was a vertical climb a few yards after the squeeze. It was a bit hairy in the rain, but we made it, again handing up my pack.Originally Posted by natureboy68
Yes, that area was spectacular. As far as Agony Grind, it was a grind, but thankfully only 500' of descent worth. A slip and fall on the wet rocks might have been unfortunate, but we made it down without incident (other than a few choice words now and again).
The trash was only in a very few spots. The rest of the trail was very clean. I wished I could have carried out some of it.
Yes, I enjoyed the hike and visit to the City too. Thanks!

Enjoyed your photos as usual rain man. Your right the vertical climb after the squeeze is worse. I've hiked that section more times than I can remember. I did the climb once and the rest of the times I go the easy way lol..
Glad you had a great trip RM. Thanks for the pics - they brought back some fond memories!

I really wanted to take a photo of that sign, but it was raining. Should've taken it anyway, as it poured rain for the next two hours and my camera died anyway.
Maybe I'll just steal your pic of it!!!
