| no partners | | Didn't *look* bad from the bottom. Wanted to do it like North Mountain: Slow & steady, no stops. Remember taking two breaks. Looked at GoPro footage at home. It was more, way more. (Though, in my defense, those were quick 8-second breathers.) Met @BobP during one of my breaks. He was on his first lap. 
Out of curiousity, broke down grade by tenths of a mile:
.10 35 6.6%
.20 35 6.6%
.30 57 10.8%
.40 85 16.1%
.50 121 22.9%
.60 156 29.6% (lookout)
.70 140 26.5%
.80 184 34.9%
.90 130 24.6%
1.00 99 18.8%
1.10 123 23.3% (summit)
Nice view up top. Met a friendly doggo.
Foot traffic was light at 9am on Wednesday. Much less than Piestewa.
I intended to take uphill photos on the way down, but BobP caught up to me (again), so we had a good chat the last .80 or so.
