The sweet reward for enduring the long dark. It’s high country time baby!
Boots on the trail at 5am for this one. A 12 mile (round trip) power-grind up and over the mountain to reach this mid-sized high country gem that receives occasional fry plants. Very little rest for the wicked on this one - hike there, tube it, then hike out in time to be home for a late dinner.
My knees were feeling this one. The climb was relentless. Couple that with a brutal scramble down to the lake…ooweee to be young again.
