Green (descent PR)

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down the same.

Started at 11:46 am. Hardrock lottery was in progress. Worked pretty hard on the ascent, dreaming of the San Juans. Snow conditions were good for the most part but did slow me down a bit on the upper part of the mountain. Started down and immediately knew I was going to be pushing hard all the way down. Conditions were superb for descending fast, just a bit slow from Greenman Spring back to Saddle Rock. 18:05 descent is a PR. Previous PR, in dry conditions, was 18:21 on 7/5/2011.

Euphoric from the descent, I checked Hardrock's Twitter stream and had my hopes dashed.

0:00 - Gregory TH
8:33 - Amph/Saddle Rock
24:25 - Saddle Rock/Greenman
46:06 - Green summit
