Morning Run

Absolutely amazing day helping Joe Palisi nab his Pemi for NEU8 Skyrunner Gold. 

I knew I couldn't keep up with Joe on fresh legs so I let Christopher Walkin  wear him out starting from Lincoln Woods. Meanwhile I headed up falling waters for an absolutely gorgeous sunrise. Got blown around a lot on the ridge along the way - we think winds were in the mid fifties and I was not expecting that when I popped on Haystack. 

I kept going up Garfield solo, trying to stay ahead of Joe and get it broken out for them. He finally caught up 100 feet below the summit and we finished that up together. Chris was pushing him hard so we took a nice breather at the summit while Chris bailed out North. 

Cruised over to Galehead hut following some light tracks. Ascent up the twins is always rough but it was a paved highway and nice way to get some vert in. Along the way we passed someone that insisted twins-guyot is "always broken out" but we were skeptical and ended up having to break that section out from thick drifts. At guyot we picked up some light tracks likely from folks hitting the bonds from Zealand hut.

Guyot to Bonds went pretty fast. At Bondcliff it was clear that 15H for Joe was very doable but would require some speedwork on the descent and out to Lincoln Woods. I wanted to keep my knees together for more winter shenangican so I told him to run ahead while I watched the sunset and then made the way out myself.
