| partners | | finally got to knock of R2R2R this past weekend!
i had fun the whole damn day, and surprisingly, the group stayed close together for the majority of the hike.
started down the trail at 4:20am. south kaibab to phantom was quick and uneventful. the box and then the last few miles to cottonwood were hot but still enjoyable.
things dragged a bit after the supai tunnel - that last 1.5M to the top seemed never ending. once we topped out on the north rim, and i inhaled some bacon and a donut, all was well! there was a bit of snow on the ground from the previous storm. we stayed up on the north rim a bit longer than i would have liked because we had a few people in our group trying to figure out if they were going to turn around or take a shuttle back to the south rim. we started heading back down around 1:20ish.
heading back down the north rim to cottonwood and through the box went by FAST and was rather pleasant. i was a bit nervous about hiking up bright angel during the dark, but once again, it went by quick! once i hit the two mile switch back i picked up my pace and managed to be one of the first to top out on bright angel. we finished just shy of 19hrs.
salt chews, bacon, and almond m&ms got me through the 44M, the company was wonderful, and i felt strong the entire day! |
