| no partners | | Started GC 6:15a, summit 8:25a, finish 10:10a. First hour was by headlamp as I was constrained by time as I had a 1:10p flight back home to Minnesota. I ended up jogging most of the relative flats both ways between mile markers 3 and 5. Took a couple short breaks and about 10 minutes on the summit to sign the log and take a couple pictures. I actually had full LTE Verizon coverage at the top - those big towers are blasting cell signals and probably microwaving my brain cells too!
Descent of 1:45 was really aggressive - jogging whenever possible to save time - but the temperature was great (~50), and the trails were clear. I actually didn't see anyone until past the 3 mile marker on the way down, 10 miles into the hike. I went through about three liters of water total and had one Kind bar. If I could do it over again I would have started with less layers even though it was about 45 when I started. I got hot quick and ended up carrying a light jacket and light fleece most of the trip. I was on vacation and didn't have all my gear, but this could easily be done with just a camelbak and light snack.
Overall it was a great experience and the instructions on here made it really straight forward - thanks for the inspiration! |
