    Hardest hike I’ve ever done! Mostly because I was carrying too much stuff, but still… The original plan was to do both Williamson and Tyndall. Boy, did I underestimate the long approach! We ended up doing the Northwest ridge of Tyndall, which is rated as class 2. However, getting from the west side of the ridge to the final summit ridge is pretty tricky, and I would rate that section class 3.
