East Fork of Fat Man's Misery FKT! Fun freaking day out. So stoked on the performance today! 

Didn't blow up on the approach and kept the pace moderate and aerobic. Made it to the saddle quickly and stashed layers and .5L of water. Quick route finding on the approach to the E Fork with few backtracks. 

Dropped into the drainage and picked up the pace. Trekking poles stayed out the whole day and were essential! Got to the first rappel (which had a fixed rope off one hangar in moderately good condition) and hand lined down. In hindsight, would have preferred a rappel. Couple of waist deep pools, but never put on the wetsuits. Hit the confluence in a little over an hour (could be improved) and raced to the final rappel. Quick transition here and we were off to the hot springs. Chest deep water was the worst we encountered. 

Made it to the E Virgin in a little over half an hour. It was cold so I moved a little faster through the Barracks. 

At the exit, we waited for around 30min to refill water, stow gear, etc. Afterwards, we scrambled up the exit and followed the light social trail. Here, I made the mistake of following a game trail and leading us up above the W Fork. Eventually scrambled around to the trail proper, but easily added 45min. About this time, realized my water bottle had broken and I lost it all. Pushed hard to the saddle where I'd stashed water and drank up! Finished off with a sprint down the hill and solid struggle to the road. 

What a run. This can definitely go lower, but it was good to try it today. Feeling very happy about our performance. Thanks Ryan for pushing!
