Spencer Butte

From Blanton Road TH, Ridgeline Trail over to 52nd & Willamette TH, Ridgeline Trail, "North Ridge" trail, Spencer Butte summit; down main trail, Ridgeline Trail back to 52nd & Willamette, Ridgeline Trail back to Blanton Road TH.

Started at 7:11 pm with Lori and Jen but we all ran our own paces. Ran somewhat hard over to Willamette. Didn't feel as strong going up the "North Ridge" as last time, but I did see 78 ft/min at one point. From the start of the "North Ridge" trail to the summit is right around 800 feet per my altimeter. Waited on the summit until Jen arrived, then followed her down the main trail. Mostly walked the rocky stuff down to the junction, but then Jen motored back to Willamette. I then pushed ahead back to Blanton.
