First day isn’t spent much on climbing as you would only be transferred to one of the two overnight park areas, Hot Springs or Mountain Park. I choose the later as the altitude was slightly higher there.
My thought was that this would help me with acclimatize a bit before the climb. Regardless of location, it’s recommended to just take a rest and load your body with carbohydrate. Two very enduring days awaits you. I'm now ready and packed to go.
