Friday, 03/05/10 Green Mountain

Up in 1:03
Down in 50ish?

It was a bit colder than yesterday, actually a lot colder with the wind on the upper half of the Ranger Trail. The snow that was so soft yesterday was a skating rink this morning. I just tagged along with Allison and Sierra, content to go their pace, even though my legs felt surprisingly good. Trying to fully recover a bit from the past few days and rest up in anticipation for my Winter climb of Antero tomorrow. I am very much looking forward to getting up high, but know that I will be sucking wind big time, especially chasing Homie on snow at high altitude. I have not been to 14k since 12/19/09 and it has been since mid Jan. since I have been above 13,000. Either way, it will be a fun and challenging day.

  1. Hey, I'm in boulder for spring break and came across your blog from Anton's. Was wondering if you were going to run Green Mountain anytime soon, if I could tag along? Just give me a time and place and I'll meet you there, im within running distance to the trails on Gregory Canyon....

  2. Hey Michael, I am heading up there today, but not until 4:30pm (from the Gregory Canyon Trailhead), you are more than welcome to join. I will be heading up the Amphitheater/Saddle Rock/Greenman route, which is steep and very icy right now, so some sort of traction is a must (I will be using Microspikes, but Yak Trax or screw shoes would work as well). Feel free to e-mail me direct at jvoclv@gmail.com
