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. |
