Total Distance

4.50

Solo Mt. Wire

I wanted to get some elevation gain today, so I ran up Wire. I could tell there was still some fatigue in my legs, so I took it easy on the way up hiking the steep sections. A few times I pushed it hard to get my heart rate up, but for the most part it was an easy ascent. After the second saddle the wind picked up and it was pretty cold on the summit ridge. I reached the summit in 48:00 and took a few minutes to take in the views that were incredible as always.

The run down was slow and easy and I passed two hikers on their way up. The cold wind kept blowing most of the way down. Total time 1:23. Slow.

Nice outing! Weird windy and cold up high today, warm and calm in the valley it seemed. How many Wire ascents is that this year? Do you keep track? gotta be a bunch. Looks like you will crush your 65 peak goal. Strong!

Thanks guys. Bryce- That was #28 on the year for me, almost half of my summit totals for the year. I think I have 18 different summits this year and next year I would like that to be closer to 30. Wire is just so convenient that I think I will always have a lot of summits up there.
