yep - we got there about 1:30ish just like I said. I had to walk up the last 50 or so meters ("the wall"), but I made it up to that point. Of course, my two friends were quite gracious in looking back to check on me when I crawled up the steeper sections........

Hey all - how does Diablo compare to the hills in the tierra bella -- Metcalf? Giloroy Springs? Anybody care to compare. I'm wondering what I've got to look forward to in three weeks...........

Veronica - what does your krebs thingy say? Others who have done both diablo and tierra bella?

THANKS!
