Green

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down West Ridge, Ranger, (up) Greenman, Saddle Rock, Amph.

Started around 6:30 am. Cool, damp conditions. Figured this would be a slow hike as I only got around five hours of sleep and could barely get myself up and out of the house this morning. But I felt OK starting out and ratcheted up the effort up Amph. Knew I had a decent time atop Amph so wanted to keep it going. Thought I'd lost some time to the Saddle Rock/Greenman junction, but seeing that I was under 22:00 there, I kept pushing hard. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough left in the tank in the final switchbacks to push to a PR. Recovered for a bit on top in the fog, then ran down pretty easy.

Stupid watch reset after the run for the umpteenth time over the last several months, so I lost my splits. I did look at them at the finish, so these are from memory. Had a duplicate split at the summit anyway, but I recall seeing 38:54 at the summit and calculating that I was 16 seconds off my PR. Time to replace this watch.

0:00 - Gregory TH
7:3x-7:4x - Amph/Saddle Rock
21:53? - Saddle Rock/Greenman
38:54? - Green summit
41:xx - started down
1:11:xx - Gregory TH

  1. Hey John.
    Thanks again for your help during Hardrock. I have your hat, gloves and shirt all clean and ready for you. We should meet up for a Green or Bear climb in the next few days.
