Day 24: Good Friday

Starting Point: Mollies Ridge Shelter (178.0)

Ending Point: Derrick Knob Shelter (190.1)

Total miles: 12.1 miles

Steps: 37,576

Achievements: Rocky Top, Thunderhead Mountain

We got up early and pushed hard again.  12.1 miles.  While today didn't have as much climb, the terrain was much more challenging.  Normally, I can make up time on a ridge or a decent.  Not today.

Tomorrow, we're going to have a shorter day.  We are going to position ourselves for the climb of Clingmans Dome, the highest point on the AT.  I haven't staged for a climb since the PCT.  Clingmans Dome is also the 200 mile point for me.

I remain healthy with no issues.
