| no partners | | Took a day off to do this one without the congo lines from the chairlift on weekends, as I read about at topic on here. As I posted at that topic, I really wanted to get up before snow disappears. And I was not disappointed. Snow .... in Arizona ... in June ... on the 3rd day of summer .... just after we matched record high temps in Phoenix. I know, silly!!
Another of my last year's bucket list for "turned 50, resolved to get back to serious hiking". I made good time until around 11,500 ft - then hit an "old man" wall Had read that everyone has their altitude where effects really start to show, guess that is mine. Hung around top, lots of pics, 360 video, until gnats drove me back on trail. Enjoyed conversation with 3rd year student at NAU on way down, she has been getting into hiking, so I told her all about HAZ (which I do often).
Minor edits from my GPS route: 10.33 vs 10.25 miles, 3468 vs 3313 ft AEG. |
