I hiked Mount Chocorua with Hui Yeng, Tom, Davor and Max (Davor's dog) today. A great trip and wonderful experience! However, hiking with pros like Tom and Hui Yeng is tough. Their pace and endurance is amazing. The hike is typically scheduled for approximately 6 hours, yet we climbed the mountain in 2 hours and 15 minutes (including photo breaks) and went down in about 1.5 hours. That was FAST, at least for me. Plus, I definitely carried a lot of stuff:
General gear:
- Water (2 Liters)
- Food (Sandwich, Trail Mix, Power Bars, Nuts)
- Map
- Rain Clothes
- Bug Spray
- Band Aids
- Advil, Tylenol
- Matches
- Knife
- Cell Phone
Photo Equipment:
- SLR Camera
- 2 Lenses (incl. Hoods)
- Memory Cards
- Batteries
- Cleaning Air Brush and Cloth
- Small Towel
- Plastic Bag
Since I am a novice hiker I figured better save than sorry.
But hey, it was worth it:
