The Team Leader is a man of very few words and understatement.

To his credit he knew I would take care of #6...
And he had to catch up to the other 3 and make sure they would be ok.

understatements???
Well.. #6 on the hike up said Team Leader should have expressed a little more concern about the difficulty of an Expert Trail or could have emphasis a better workout schedule.

Mt. Whitney guy also said similar thing.



According to Team Leader, New Hance Trail is similar to other Grand Canyon Trails and maybe just a slightly more difficult than other trails but trading in for a shorter distance 7.5 miles. To him, Monument Trail is the hardest 15 miles.


Ironically, Only #6 and I are ex-military. I don't believe the military has ever taught us to go light.
