Mozart's 2024 PCT Thru-Hike

We slept in a bit which was much needed but none of us seemed to get good sleep. Not to worry though as we had such a slow morning ahead of us. We packed up and went down to Lake Agora Resort to do some cliff jumping.

When we got to the resort, we met Rummage’s friends Ryan and Katie who both are seasonal workers living in Reno. After making our way to the ledges, we soon realized what a 45 foot cliff looks like from above. Tiber and I quickly took action so we didn’t overthink the jump and went for it. It was easier knowing that Rummage had done this jump many times before. The rush was incredible. It was about two seconds of hang time which when you’re halfway down, feels like an eternity. We ended up jumping off a couple times before heading over to the twenty foot ledge to do flips and other things.

It wasn’t until around 3:45 that we got back on trail. We had to redo a three mile stretch to avoid climbing over a 2,000 foot peak back to the trail but it was definitely the right call. After having dinner at Lake Aloha, we kept pushing towards our campsite, so we thought. The group was a bit ahead of us and we went straight when we should have gone right. About a mile later and over Mosquito Pass, Mackenzie and I realized and had to make the slow trek back. We were zoned out in conversation and completely missed our turn. After a couple hours of night hiking, we’re back with the group.

Big day tomorrow but we get to Tahoe City for a bed and shower. Taking a zero the following day. Long overdue.

Wrong turns…
