It wasn't so bad barefoot though, at least better than in flip flops - I ended up leaving my flip flops half way and then picked them up on the way back. Guess I wasn't as well prepared as you :D

Believe me I would have gone up with flip flops as well hadn't my friends told me to get my trekking shoes.
Props to you for still making the hike, those rocks where damn sharp!
