hiking 1:45:00 [3] 4.0 mi (26:15 / mi)
Run with Dan up Mt Monadnock before the various pre-wedding activities. Got almost to the top when we ran into four chicks on their way down in cocktail dresses and pink tiaras. Quick lap up to the top and back and then we hiked down with them.

run 49:00 [3] 6.0 mi (8:10 / mi)
Not surprisingly, there was almost no one out running this morning. It actually wasn't much worse than normal LA, except for that burning taste and the purple sunrise...

hiking 2:00:00 [3] 15.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Went up to sequoia to escape the heat and smoke (not my pics, but some pretty sweet time lapses in there of the smoke clouds) from LA. From mineral king, went up to Franklin Lakes, then most of the way up to Franklin Pass before cutting up to the ridge to summit Rainbow Mt. Then off the north side of Rainbow to unnamed pk 12,109' with the intention of traversing the ridge between the two, but I started running into fairly vertical cliff bands (looking backwards) and kept getting driven down off the top. After a few too many dodgy 4th class downclimbs I finally got totally sketched out and bailed down into the bowl to the west, crossed over to the other side, and went up the SW ridge of 12109.
Neither of the two (Rainbow or 12109) are very popular: Rainbow isn't on the Sierra Club list of peaks, so I was the 5th one in the register this year. And 12109 doesn't even have a name, so definitely no one wants to climb that one (the book went back to '57, I was 3rd in the last 10 years). They're both pretty easy from either end, its the traverse in the middle thats tough. I couldn't find any reports of anyone making it all the way along the ridge, although after I got up 12109 I could see a route that might have gone through that I had missed while in the middle of it. I guess thats the fun of climbing the random little peaks.
Anyway down the north side of 12109 through some scree and shale gullies to crystal lake, then a knee pounding drop down the trail back to MK. about 10 hours of hiking, plus a bonus 9 of driving. yea 'day' hikes.
