TIMP SUMMIT:
Started up around 7:15 pm. Just caught the sunset at the summit--amazing with the layer of smoke in the valley. Nice even effort on trip up--not really pushing it. Super windy cresting saddle before summit. Got a bit cold. It was good to get up and get back down out of the wind. Smooth steady decent in the dark without any issues. Caught up with fellow ultra runner Todd Cook and his daughter and tagged along with them on a leisure jaunt down the last 2-3 miles.
Most of the snow is gone. Crossed two small snow sections, one a bit dicey on trip down in the dark but no big deal. Shortcut two sections sliding down the snow fields--probably not the smartest thing but way fun.
Trip up: 2:15 Trip down: 1:25
