Thanks Floppy!

We hiked in for 4 hours, camped, and headed out in the am. Camping conditions were good but once we headed out on day 2it was clear the wind was gonna prevent us from summiting. It was a massive mountain and real humbling, I can't wait to try it again next year. Winds to 50 mph and there was snow and ice close to the knife edge but it was still a good 15 hours of hiking over two days so it was pretty shwifty.

More deets later

Looks cool.

You should have just taken the shortcut everyone takes down tho, it cuts the time in half.

Glad you made the decision to not push it. Had 2 guys get caught in a storm on a smaller mountain in Kodiak back in 2001. Wind blew them over a ridge, one died and the other broke his back (this was in December with feet of snow on the ground). Didn't find either of them for about 18 hours after they went missing (didn't report back to the ship that they were off the mountain). I always advocate for taking the safe road in these situations. Like you said, there is always next year when you make those choices.

Finally, his long three year dirty bulk towards peak winter weight will pay dividends

My phone almost took the shortcut taking a vid of the wind. It's walking w 4000 ft of gain and a backpack on, nbd really but at 10,000 ft it's a bit winding and calorie consuming.

Plus this

Planning on Nordic Racing for the first time ever this coming winter. As part of the training plan, I'm roller skiing 3 or so times a week. Took my first real nasty digger last night. No major injuries, avoided road rash, etc. My left boot is scuffed to hell at this point, but still functionable.

A ****ING cat jumped out of the woods in front of me, and I blasted it.

I saw a guy roller skiing down one of the canyons I was riding up in CO. I hope he saw the big patch of highway they were digging up before it was too late. If not, RIP french highway skiier.

Not sure why you were surprised. Everyone knows cardio is catabolic.

My posting is always inversely related with how hurt I am... needless to say, I haven't been doing any posting.
