Camp Muir, Mt Rainier while not in shape at all. It was a training weekend for a summit attempt. Granted I was hauling 40lbs but still...totally bonked at 9000' just 1000' short of Muir.

Might not look hard initially, but residents in this Bronx, NY neighborhood climb these stairs a couple of times every day. Do the math ;-)

Cactus to Clouds (C2C) hike in Palm Springs, CA -- It was insanely difficult. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cactus_to_Clouds_Trail

bytebitWhile I have not yet attempted this hike, it's on my list. This trail is literally a killer. Living in the Coachella Valley for many years, the amount of people who have perished on this trail (and so many more of our desert trails), is staggering. Congrats on the finish!

PithecanthropusI have hiked the incline, and was astonished how many people were hiking up AND down, and back up again! I loved it, though, and if I ever get back there, plan to do it again!

RainyHIt's the worst hike in Colorado. No preparing for it, it hurts, the view isn't even that great, and way too many people. If you come back out, I'll show you where the really awesome hiking is.

Did three pretty tough day hikes the White Mountains of NH earlier this year with friends: (1) a traverse of the Presidential range from north to south covering 21 miles, 10K+ feet in 17 hours; (2) a variation of the Pemi Loop clockwise covering 35 miles, 10K feet in 16.5 hours; and (3) a traverse of the Carter range from north to south covering 19 miles in 12 hours .

Second hardest hike was Cactus To Clouds in July: 21 miles, 10,400 feet of elevation (most of it in the first 10 miles) and 108 degrees Fahrenheit (42 Celsius).

Aladaglar Sky Trail, Turkey. Three peaks. Zero shade. Hand over hand scrambling on near vertical loose rock faces. Somehow people run it every year. Na Pali Coast, Kauai was also deceptively difficult as someone else pointed out.
