Coming back down took so much more energy than going up. We walked from the campground to Sunset Point and went up the way you did. We then came back the Hunter Trail. That downhill almost killed me. My one knee was barely working when we go to the flat finally. That Hunter trail is wicked!!! Then we had to walk another mile to the campground. You truly want to be in your best shape and have a partner. We took gloves but didn't use them. The cables were too slippery (they had just been replaced). We didn't need the gloves and got a much better grip without them. We, too, had to pass our first year. I developed a pinched nerve in my back that affected my right leg and I couldn't use it. So instead of hiking, we made two trips to Casa Grande Urgent Care. I was in major pain. We returned in the fall to conquer this bad boy!
