I hiked up this trail today. I was not a pretty day. It was gray and windy. Like fucking winter at the top. I was very happy to have a nice hard shell jacket in my pack for the last 1000' vertical.
Thanks for the interesting link.
3,622' of vertical in 8½ miles is nothing to sneeze at.
It doesn't surprise me in the least that you were well prepared for contingencies.
BTW, it's an out and back trail, so the vertical is done in 4 1/4 miles.

With alarming speed, it lurched from the shore onto the beach, kicking up dark swirls of sand and sea spray. Its cargo trickled down of a ramp: Humvees, U.S. Marines, a compact green bulldozer. Everything you would need in an invasion."
