post race hike up the A

with Heidi Conaghan! 13 named peaks, dozens of other minor peaks, and over 14k of elevation gain. not many people (<50)  have completed this route in a single push. we started at 4:30 am and didn’t finish until 2:30 am, much to our surprise. so much scrambling and route finding and massive ups and downs. we had no idea it was going to take us this long, we were still on an exposed class 3 ridge with miles to go when the sunset, which is really pretty scary. it went smoothly but I had a lot of anxiety leading up to sunset knowing we would be climbing in the dark. probably should have bailed earlier in the day when we were behind schedule. after hours of careful scrambling in the dark, we had to bushwhack our way back to the car through dense vegetation, thorns, and tons of downed trees. it took forever, and that is just not what you want to be doing at 1 am after 20 hours of hiking. it was a great day, super cool route, and i’m glad i’ve done it but wow it made me not even feel like hiking again for a while
