Diego and Dad - Gravel Ride

Blue Sky Trail Marathon

Evening Ride

Mt Meeker (13,916) via South Ridge

All the way up. Floors 1-12 (1:52.23)

Been eyeing this mountain (from my home) for years, glad I was finally able to climb it. 

One of my all-time toughest hikes. Wild Basin is a new favorite place of mine. Views were exceptional, weather was great until winds on the ridge and snow up high (waist deep on the summit ridge). Route-finding between Meeker Meadow and the Sand Lake trail wasn’t as bad as I expected but a second’s hesitation and you could lose the trail (it was that faint, plus covered in downed trees). 

Didn’t bother climbing the summit block, too much ice, snow, and wind. Needed spikes, should’ve brought an axe. Helmet made the loose rock less of a hazard. 

This was a relentlessly straight shot up Meeker with lots of elevation gain. I’m spent.
