Mt. Elbert, Cascade Crest Training Runs, Glacier Peak One Day Climb

Quite the productive, exhausting, and fun previous six days. Thursday was a climb of Mt. Elbert in Colorado, followed by a dip into Turquoise Lake outside Leadville. I then drove back to WA, in time for the 7 a.m. start of the 'PCT 50K' on Saturday. Sunday was then the 'Thorpe Mountain 50K'. Monday night at 11 p.m., Richard and I then strapped on our headlamps, and began what would be our 14 hour, 35 mile, 11,000 ft (net) ascent of Glacier Peak (one of five WA volcanoes).

Ended up a week 105+ miles and 30,000+ ft of gain. To say I am tired, is a slight understatement. All rest, swimming, yoga, and relaxation leading to Cascade Crest now.

Enjoy the pictures.
