Mt. Wire with MattV this morning. Today looked like the best day to get out before the weekend, so Matt and I decided to get in a peak. It was much colder than I expected at the trailhead, so I wore my hat, gloves and vest. The trail was damp, but not much mud. We hit snow at the first saddle, but it wasn't bad.
From the second saddle to the summit there was more snow to deal with and it slowed us down some, but we were not pushing all that hard anyway. Up to the top in 1:00 even. SLOW! We didn't stay long and had a nice run all the way back to the cars. Total time 1:30.
2200 vert.
PM update:
6.4 more on the BST in Draper with Jun and Dorsimus. The temps were perfect, but the wind was awful. This trail has a lot of ups and downs and after Wire this morning my legs were a bit sore, so I didn't want to do the big hill up Corner Canyon, so I turned around at 3.2 miles after taking a gel. Jun and Dorsimus continued up the canyon and then did the Ghost Falls trail. I think I did about 1000 more vert, but I'm not exactly sure. So fun! |
