St. Lucia Gros Piton Hike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Gros Piton is one of two mountains south of the town Soufrière in the southwest of Saint Lucia. Lying at the southern end of Pitons Bay, it rises to a height of 786 m (2619 ft). It is the second highest peak on Saint Lucia, after Mount Gimie.
Gros Piton can be climbed without ropes or mountaineering experience -- great physical conditioning will let one hike to the summit and come back down to the sea-level within a few hours. Be warned, that although the pamphlets given out on the island describe the hike as "moderate difficulty, but strenuous at times", the trail itself is actually quite aggressive. The most active trail guide states that upwards of 50% of tourists do not make it to the top, as the trail itself is certainly not of "moderate difficulty" in any sense. Those who have never hiked will have great difficulty getting to the summit, and those who do not consider themselves to be "in good shape" should reconsider an attempt.

We did this in a rainstorm........very difficult. Coming down was harder than ascending IMHO
