Grandeur hike/run combo

I don't know if I belong on this blog because I am not a fast runner. I get knee pain, foot pain, and I poop a lot while I am out in the mountains.

This morning I met Scott at 5AM and we hiked up the West ridge of Grandeur. Conditions down low were good, but the wind blew cold on us for the first half of the hike. on the upper mountain we encountered crusty snow under lighter powder, which made for a slippedy-slidey hike, and it slowed us considerably. At the summit we decided to continue down and run the loop back to the cars.

The Grandeur West ridge loop run to the parking area is a good run. You get to hike a peak with over 3,000 of el., then you get several miles of trail running. You may see some elk, deer or even an eagle along the way.

I think our total time was about 3:30, and the poor snow conditions on the ridge will account for that.

You belong as much as anyone. Most people have no idea all of the tough long mountain routes that you have done. keep up the good work.

So you say your wife wears a corset, well Brethren, I don't endorse it!
