Ran/hike/scrambled Mt. Nebo :). Used the north approach which is a little shorter and much steeper, but it does go to the higher North Peak at 11928 ft. 4.5 miles to the top with 3500 vert including a stretch on the false summit that 920 feet in a half mile lol. 4000 total for the run.
It was a great day to be up on the mountain. I saw a cousin and her friends on the trail (small world) and a guy I used to work with. There was a group of older gentlemen that couldn't believe someone was running the ridge. One man was named Greg, he was snapping pictures. On the way down he asked me to give him my email address so he could email some if they were good. So nice! I made in up in 1:26. The way down isn't much faster because of the loose shale and the steepness but it was fun. The last 2.5 are runnable and through some great sections of trees. The view was incredible as usual. Round trip in 2:33. I didn't push this too hard and think on fresh legs and the proper mindset I could go 10-15 minutes faster up. I like runs like this because even though the mileage may be lower the legs get a screaming workout and the time on feet bonus is huge.
When I got back I felt bad for the ones who were still up on the trail because of the storm that had moved in. I guess it hailed around the summit and pounded rain elsewhere. I was thankful to be down before I got wet.
