From South Mesa TH. Mesa, Towhee, Shadow, South Boulder; over to Bear; down Fern, upper North Shanahan, Mesa, Big Bluestem, Mesa.
Started at 3:31 pm. Running comfortably on the approach to Shadow Canyon, I thought I had a pretty good run going. In the canyon itself, I may have run more than I've ever run. Of course, in order to do that, I may not have been working as hard as possible when I was hiking. Ran quite a bit above the saddle as well. Good to get under an hour, as that's rare for me, but I thought this would be a little faster.
Stopped briefly on the summit, then continued over to Bear, scrambling up the west face. Another brief stop on Bear, then headed down Fern. Felt really clumsy coming down, trying to get down before it got dark. Bonked hard lower down, so ended up walking bits on the way back to the trailhead. Turned on the light a bit before turning onto Bluestem.

Not used to seeing one of your posts that didn't say, simply, "Green." No doubt you're shaking things up in anticipation of a new year.
ReplyDeleteJim, I was chasing Green summits this fall to get to 100. Hit 100 with 3 laps on Monday, so I was ready for something different. I had 24 summits of South Boulder and 14 summits of Bear for the year, so I had to get those to 25 and 15.
ReplyDeleteHope you're healed up and ready to get at it again in 2011!
