| no partners | | Worked 3 days of workover and had a day to burn before needing to be in Grand Junction Colorado. Decided this was on the way got up after 4 hours of sleep. I didn’t have great gear no poles and backpack with broken chest strap I use as overnight bag in heli. And no bladder.
4 hours sleep and on my way. Parked at the bottom because of reports of the road and I was going slower in truck than I can hike. Could have driven the frontier 2+ miles further and Pinz would’ve been stopped at the second to the last obstacle. I will drive Pinz to do Ellingwood point. I hate that road! I normally would bring poles for the hike down on such a rocky rough trail. Sleep deprivation was probably the cause of a couple Miss steps early on. Pretty sure I broke two toes and smashed the rest. Had blood coming out of Every nail bed on every toe. I still managed to maintain 3 mph up to the summit roughly 7 miles. Coming down was another story. After stopping at the top for 30 min. My feet and toes hurt so bad I could barely maintain 2 mph. Once I hit the road it was torture on the loose river rocks. Dropped my air pod charger had to back track 1 mile. Scenery was spectacular and the high alpine lakes and running water was beautiful. Could have done without 5 super loud rock crawlers lined up to do the last obstacle before lake como blasting stupid music. Also could have done with out the road. Trekking poles would have probably been the solution to the feet which are swollen and still recovering two days later. |
