Superstition Peak 5024 - Siphon Draw

A little dark this morning at 6:30am start time. Light soon revealed a blanket of gray clouds overhead. Decided on a Flatiron/5024 outing and started hustling up the mountain. One slip on way down left a 6" long blood blister down my upper arm. Never broke the skin, but left a nasty red streak down my arm. No time to pout. Got right back on my feet and shook it off. Pleased with my pace considering I haven't been up on the mountain in awhile. Still can't get used to difficulty of ascent. Its always hard, every time.

78 minutes to tip of the iron from Mining Camp parking lot.
90 minutes - Peaked out on 5024.
143 minutes - back at Mining Camp.
