Grandeur Peak Big Boy Run today. Wanted to get Oreo out on this but life intervened. This is a great run every time I've done this loop, but I am always impressed with how unrelenting steep this climb is up. I am usually throwing out a few expletives about 3/4ths the way up. Only regret is that I did not have my spikes on for the top and the first half mile over the top. There is a lot of icy snow up there and I was slipping all over the place. Beautiful views of the valley and nice jaunt home. Always kicks my butt. |
