Surgery and clinic … 15 miles apart.

Morning Ride

After a 10 minute transition  (I got changed into boots/ Sunshirt/ harness/ gloves/ poles and chugged 200 calories w a little protein plus a jar of cold brew) Colton and I started climbing at 2:52am. Snow was soft the whole way up which made it slow going. We reached Muir around 5:30a. We got a quick water refill (thank you Lindsay) and roped up. The upper mountain was beautiful- I love the DC (except the actual cleaver). Route was in awesome condition- one vertical ladder. Layering  was simple bc we only had room for a down jacket so we climbed in tights + sun hoodie and I put on the down jacket when leaving Muir.   I topped out at 9:19a which is o couple minutes ahead of the men’s record (yay) and 7 hours ahead of the women’s record. We descended slowly, catching up w other parties and friends.  Celebrations included lukewarm hot chocolate at Muir, a root beer float at paradise and blackberry pie from Copper creek. I’m still in search of the onion rings I craved all day.
