| 4. | 1662m | 16:05 | 22 | +4:47 | 42% | 75.8 | 2:00 | 9:40 | 2305m | 22:36 | 22 | +7:07 | 46% | 9:48 | The big marsh didn't look as marshy as I had expected, and after I crossed it I was not sure exactly where I was. I didn't find it easy to relocate on the cliff clad spurs because there were several of them. I kept runnning on compass at a medium pace, and eventually realized I had just passed the pond next to 6. I read the map more carefully from here as I didn't want to lose contact again. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5. | 331m | 2:43 | 19 | +36 | 28% | 80.6 | 20 | 8:12 | 2636m | 25:19 | 20 | +7:30 | 42% | 9:36 | Should have stayed to the left in order to use hill with boulders as attackpoint. Instead I went more straight and hesitated a bit. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | 419m | 3:42 | 19 | +47 | 27% | 80.0 | 8:49 | 3055m | 29:01 | 20 | +8:11 | 39% | 9:29 | Went below the cliffs and over the first spur. Climbed on top of the second spur and followed it in. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 416m | 3:55 | 15 | +57 | 32% | 78.0 | 15 | 9:24 | 3471m | 32:56 | 19 | +8:11 | 33% | 9:29 | Wanted to stay left on top of the cliffs. Hesitated when I came to the first cliff on the left. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 167m | 1:41 | 11 | +16 | 19% | 84.8 | 10:04 | 3638m | 34:37 | 18 | +8:27 | 32% | 9:30 | Passed the lower cliffs on the left side, then cut back to the right. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 1040m | 9:14 | 13 | +1:38 | 21% | 83.2 | 15 | 8:52 | 4678m | 43:51 | 15 | +10:05 | 30% | 9:22 | Took the trail ontil it turned E, then headed for the marsh as a catching feature. Once I got to it it looked smaller than I had imagined, so at first I was wondering whether it was the smaller marsh to the W that I was at. This cost me a little bit of time because I hesitated. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 665m | 6:55 | 23 | +2:14 | 48% | 73.0 | 10:24 | 5343m | 50:46 | 16 | +11:25 | 29% | 9:30 | Stayed right initially to avoid having to contour. Don't remember exactly what I did next. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 313m | 2:11 | 6 | +15 | 13% | 89.8 | 6:58 | 5656m | 52:57 | 15 | +11:36 | 28% | 9:21 | Straight, making sure the hill was to my right. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 345m | 3:33 | 20 | +48 | 29% | 78.9 | 10:17 | 6001m | 56:30 | 15 | +12:08 | 27% | 9:24 | Went on compass to the tip of the first marsh, then across the various small hills. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 144m | 1:46 | 28 | +33 | 45% | 70.4 | 10 | 12:16 | 6145m | 58:16 | 15 | +12:41 | 28% | 9:28 | Around right to stay below the cliffs. It took longer than I had expected, and I stopped short a couple of times. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 345m | 2:53 | 22 | +47 | 37% | 76.1 | 8:21 | 6490m | 1:01:09 | 15 | +13:28 | 28% | 9:25 | Straight, using the small marsh on the right as an attack point as I could see it from up on the side of the spur. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | 247m | 2:21 | 19 | +43 | 44% | 75.2 | 9:30 | 6737m | 1:03:30 | 15 | +14:11 | 29% | 9:25 | Slightly to the left to get around the last cliff. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 867m | 7:16 | 22 | +1:35 | 28% | 80.9 | 8:22 | 7604m | 1:10:46 | 15 | +15:39 | 28% | 9:18 | Sprained my ankle pretty bad on the way out from 15. Decided to take the left route choice. Pretty easy navigation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 448m | 3:43 | 17 | +42 | 23% | 83.9 | 8:17 | 8052m | 1:14:29 | 15 | +16:04 | 28% | 9:15 | Considered avoiding the climb over the hilltop, but decided to push through and go straight. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | 476m | 5:38 | 23 | +1:57 | 53% | 67.5 | 20 | 38 | 11:50 | 8528m | 1:20:07 | 16 | +18:01 | 29% | 9:23 | This was not my favourite leg. After being coerced into the reentrant below the control, I found a good place to climb out of it and contour to the trail. Then I crossed the trail, heading down diagonally. I saw Erin down below and was gaining slowly but surely. At some point I hit a tree with my hand carrying my sunglasses, and after a few steps I realized one of the lenses had popped out. I ran back and it was lying on the ground next to the tree. It only took a few seconds to pop it back in and continue. I used the spur next to the S fork in the stream to guide me in. It had a huge unmapped cliff on it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 19. | 163m | 1:31 | 18 | +27 | 42% | 73.6 | 9:18 | 8691m | 1:21:38 | 16 | +18:25 | 29% | 9:23 | Straight down the hill, having big problems getting my spikes to stick to the rock faces that were covered with leaves. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 20. | 229m | 1:58 | 26 | +42 | 55% | 69.2 | 10 | 8:35 | 8920m | 1:23:36 | 15 | +19:07 | 30% | 9:22 | Contoured, and started climbing a bit after what I thought was the last cliff. It turned out the hill was still further S, but I didn't climb very much too high. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 21. | 476m | 3:50 | 20 | +1:05 | 39% | 72.8 | 20 | 8:03 | 9396m | 1:27:26 | 15 | +19:55 | 29% | 9:18 | Down to the trail an on until it turned left. Then I crossed the stream, but it turned out I was on the upper trail, which took me towards the paved road that was out of bounds. Turned towards the hilltop and went over it into the reentrant. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22. | 187m | 1:28 | 16 | +19 | 28% | 81.8 | 7:50 | 9583m | 1:28:54 | 15 | +20:01 | 29% | 9:16 | Contoured around the spur as I didn't feel like climbing up it just to run down on the other side. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 23. | 53m | 8 | 21 | +3 | 60% | 66.7 | 2:30 | 9636m | 1:29:02 | 15 | +20:04 | 29% | 9:14 | |||||||||||||||||||||
