From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down the same.
Started at 6:35 am. Amph and lower Saddle Rock had fresh snow, up to maybe an inch, but I'm pretty sure that had just blown off the trees overnight. So everything still isn't packed out perfectly yet. Pokey on the ascent again. Probably a combination of conditions, being a bit tired, and just not working very hard.
Started down intent on going all out. Was doing great until just above the talus section (all snow now) where I caught a Microspike on a small root. I barely broke stride but noticed that one foot was a bit lighter. I looked down and saw the Microspike missing. It came off so smoothly that I didn't even feel it come off. So lost maybe 20 seconds or so going back and putting it back on. Unfortunately, this broke the rhythm I had going, and I didn't push nearly as hard for the rest of the descent. Still, this 17:46 descent was 19 seconds faster than my 18:05 three days ago. I'll keep trying, I guess.
