The only glitches that I had was the fact that i got a late start because it was a turn and burn trip: drive up, climb, and go home (not the best in aclimatization methods, but it worked) At 2:00pm, a nasty looking cell was starting to form up, so I had little time to spare ont the summit, but that was okay, because i was starting to get a little dizzy spending time in that rare air. The trail up to Dana is well defined, but it gets a little confusing about the last 100yrds up the summit, because there are no less than 10 different use paths, cairns and other confusing items that may stall the final steps up the peak, but I managed it. The distance is a bit deceiving because it's "only" 3 miles, HOWEVER, it IS 3,000ft in 3 miles, so that puts a little different spin on the numbers.
