My 4th time on this ridge... we planned to go up to where we last left off and continue making our trail, with the expectation of several future trips until the destination is reached. 30 minutes in to the hike a new-comers succomed to the death zone rocky portion and could not bring himself to continue on. We turned around and did the neighboring Sacred Falls hike. There will be other times to continue this trail and it is not one for anyone who is uncomfortable.
