Green, Flagstaff

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down West Ridge, Ranger, Realization Point TH, Ute, off trail to Flagstaff summit; Flagstaff, Crown Rock, Gregory.

Started at 6:27 am. Felt pretty good up Amph so got to work. Put in a very hard effort. Got a stitch around Greenman Spring, which forced me to ease off for a bit. 6 seconds off my PR. Wish I'd skipped that second bowl (pint) of ice cream last night. Was pretty worked so the descent and trip over to Flagstaff were slow.

Princeton

Started at 10:16 am. From about 10,200' or so on the Princeton road. Up the road to the radio towers. Left the road shortly thereafter at around 11,040' and headed straight up through the woods on the ridge south of the road until getting back on the road at around 11,700'. Up the road, then the standard trail on up to the summit. There were a number of snowfields to cross, but they weren't problematic. Got off course a bit when shortcutting the road switchbacks on the descent. Need to trend left a bit and not get sucked down to the right. Didn't use Microspikes.

Quandary

Started at 6:15 am. From the Quandary TH, up the standard trail to roughly tree line (11,700'?). Snow wasn't really an issue to there. Continued straight up snow from there for a few minutes to gain the east ridge. On up the ridge to the summit. Down the same. Didn't use Microspikes.

Green (PR)

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

Started at 6:31 am. Had Jeff V pacing me for this one. Probably went out a bit hard. Got a side cramp on Greenman above the talus. Got rid of it for a bit, but then it returned for the last few minutes.

PR by 28 seconds. Previous PR was 37:34 on 4/8/12.

Ran into Patrick, Bill B, Sheri and Kirsten this morning.

Green (PR)

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

Started at 11:02 am. Felt awesome today!

PR by 1:04. Previous PR was 38:38 on 6/18/10.

Passed Bill B and his wife Julie a few minutes from the summit, which spurred me on to finish strong. Started down and immediately ran into them coming up. I guess I chatted with Bill for 20+ minutes (mostly 14ers) before continuing down.

Green

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

Started at 6:39 am. Much of the snow from earlier in the week was melted, but some north-facing sections up high were pretty icy.

Sat for a bit on top enjoying the foggy view. Was sort of waiting to see if Bill would show up, but then Kraig K topped out via West Ridge. Jogged down West Ridge with him, then he headed down Green Bear.
