Ave Twins from I street with MattW:
This was my 4th summit of the Twins this week. The trail is so good right now and I would rather go where I know it is good than waste my time slogging somewhere else. I met Matt at I Street and it was pretty cold when we started. The inversion is just sick right now and I was really looking forward to getting up above it and maybe finding the sun. It took a few miles to break out of the muck and unfortunately there was a layer of clouds above the inversion that hid the sun, so it wasn't much warmer up there, but the air was a lot cleaner to breathe.
We weren't super fast, just plugged away and bagged both peaks and hung out for a few minutes checking out the dirty air down below. SICK! On the way down we could feel/smell/taste the difference as soon as we hit the thick soupy air. Yuck! Another peak bagged.
