Trails!

Providence Canyon Trail + bit through Providence afterward.  Felt good today.  Legs were happy.

Quad Baldy Adventure with Mike, Erik, and Zac (for half) - 

Quite the route...just a bit of vertical.  Started at Providence Canyon, easy running to Dry Canyon, up the ridge to Temple baldy (8114') then up to Little Baldy (8763'). Down a cool ridge to providence off trail to "Flag hill" (turns out its called saddle rock by the locals) and down to providence canyon.

Break at the cars for a refill and snack

Then we headed up to Baby Baldy (7838') in the twighlight and Big Baldy (8858') in the light rain and heavy winds.  It was a blast coming down off the mountain until Erik superman'd it.  I bet that hurt. 

Loved it!

Easy 5, feeling sick.

Green Canyon Circumnavigation - 

Insane route with Erik today.  Awesome stuff.  Started at King Park, Face of Green, tagged Peak 9208' and Mt. Jardine, followed ridge to Mt. Fudd, blasted down the crusty snow to the ridge to Beirdneau, tagged the peak, suffered through soft snow and fatigue until tagging Saddleback Peak before flying down to the tuck.  I have always wanted to do that loop.  Conditions today were nearly perfect.  Frozen snow from the cold nights to make it easier to run on.  The section along the ridge to Beirdneau was brutal with the softer snow from the afternoon sun. I felt horrible all day long.  I think I am sick.  I have had a sore throat and stuffy nose.  This will certainly make it worse.....Still worth it!

T-5:50 + time on the peaks
