Looking back and looking forward from part way up the hike.
Looking back from the top at the last pitch. One of the dots is
@Near Nyquist .
The hike was brutal. I was the slowest 6 years ago, and I think it took almost twice as long this time. Thanks for waiting for me. Hope you had a nice party up there.
On the way up, as I pulled off several times to the side to rest and let people pass. One of those times a young woman went by, looked at me, and then muttered to herself "shit, I have no excuse."
I was pretty beat. But just as I reached the chair,
@KingGrump and his entouraged arrived from the other side from Temerity laps. After sitting on a nice long lift ride i felt a little better, so i did a run through the trees into Temerity ( mushroom something, I think). And then another. When they closed Temerity, we had to leave, so we skied Exhibition lift groomer laps, with a few bumps thrown in near the bottom.
As I skied, my legs felt better and better, so yeah, I skied till last chair.
