One word: Switchbacks. It wasn't tough, just a little dizzying with all the turnarounds!
I loved the cactus patch at the beginning. I scooched in for a closer pic, so glad my clumsiness didn't join me!
There were shortcuts throughout, but I was taking the switchbacks to get extra steps in. Kept crossing paths with a 74 year old man who has 6 children and 20 grandchildren. His youngest son is 42, and he wishes he had more power left in his legs. (I learned a little about him each time we saw each other...)
Anyway, reached the top and realized a morning hike here would be much prettier - no shadow to cloud my view!
Still, a couple nice shots.
And the (obligatory) cross.
