This was way slow. Took too many pics & videos. & I made a couple wrong turns - went for summits too soon and got cliffed out and had to backtrack. It had been too long since my first attempt. But, I got it done - all 16 peaks.
I carried 3L water and ran out maybe 30 to 40 min before route completion.
Talk about a multi-sport day - hiking, running, scrambling, climbing, & a slow, dry bike ride back to my car. This is a pretty serious route. Stoked to finally have gotten it done, just hope I can make it back out to improve my time. Lots of time I could cut.
