Walked thru a rainforest
Fun climb to Mt Solitary
Ruined Castle is the pointy hill, top of Golden Stairs is behind on the high ridge

this kid got lost the day before we hiked it and got lost . . . for 12 days! Totally unprepared. We couldn't figure out HOW he could have gotten lost. We didn't go up to Ruined Castle, we decided to go for Mount Solitary and catch Ruined Castle on the way back, but ran out of time (3 course meal was on the agenda for that night). I hope he donated the money he got from the interview.
