| no partners | | 3of3 for the day 11050 feet elevation gain for the day! This one kicked my butt! Probably should have done this one first! Quick approach middle stacked rock stairs seemed like forever. False summits in “massive” amounts. Descended last mile in the dark. Should have done this with Elbert as a day and Huron and La Plata as a day trip. Last two Miles to Half moon fine except two spots. First one turned me around as I was scouting. Planned to do Massive a few weeks ago after Belford, Oxford, Missouri next day glad I didn’t. Echo rv carters confusion of trails little confusing at point of heading up to final summit push. Had to be careful taking upper trail on way back because trail other direction is much more visible coming back from summit and seems to head same direction just lower. Glad to be done. Did not feel it in this one. Fatigue altitude dehydration or heat. It never got above 29 on first two and in the sun felt like 80’s on Massive. Took much longer to summit. Fortunately got second wind on way down and descent was faster than expected.
I guess I’m in reasonable shape, but this was a suffer fest of my own doing and hopefully will take a while to forget! |
