I had hoped to be around 12 hrs, but I finished feeling a lot better than I should have and made the safe decision to not solo down the North Face, though the Keyhole went quicker than I would have guessed. Should have just ridden my road bike and definitely should have plastic bagged the feet for approach (only did it for the bike back down). I have never had my feet's numbness creep that high above my ankle before! I also now understand screaming barfies. I used think I had had it before, but what I felt on my axe hand above the cables route was the single most painful experience of my life and far exceeded whatever petty pain of warming I'd felt before. Like, I couldn't eat, use my other hand to take off crampons or even think really. Insane, but you know it'll pass so you just have deal. Felt strong all the way back to Boulder despite my toes being absolutely F'ed up with blisters under my toe nails (from toe clips and crampons I'd imagine. What a day!
