Pusch Peak in under an hour... anyone up for it?

Post by dstancil »

Looking for a partner who wants to try and hike / run up Pusch peak in under an hour. I've only done this hike once before and made it in 01:05. Want to shoot for under an hour. Even better would be 50 minutes but one step at a time. Anyone up for it? Date and time flexible.

I'd be there in a heartbeat if it was closer. Good luck!

I tried to get 1h 30m on the ascent for Mount Kimball via Finger Rock. Fell short at around 1h 40m.

Jog briskly on the flats heading up to the trailhead where it breaks off from Linda Vista and anything that is relatively low grade in the few sections. It's obviously a pretty steep hike so I use the term run very loosely. Ha. Anything that will give me the edge of getting up under an hour which is in my opinion very doable.
