Morning Run

**Camel's hump was ascended via the Forrest City trail and LT. The original route summited via burrows. After some talk between Arlee Hiskey and myself, we've decided that Forrest City/LT allows for a true up and over without a summit spur. It's also just more aesthetic imo. This route increases the distance by ~.3 and ups the vert by ~800 ft. Hoping to make the edit on FKT as well. 

Wet and Rainy for the attempt. Slight wrong turn (quickly corrected) just entering the Camel's Hump Nordic Center. Don't take the straight path toward Lions, take a left. Summit conditions cold and windy. Bamforth was an absolute river for the upper third and alot of standing water after that. Probably left another 20-30 minutes out there with dryer conditions. The low humidity and cold temps were definitely in my favor however, so hard to tell. 

Premier route!
