Report

I ran CCW from near the lodge - front loading the off trail and boulder hopping. Mostly used the road on the back half besides Hillman and the Watchman. I completed the Colorado 14ers accompanied by Jason Hardrath several years ago while he was pursuing the Rockies Grand Slam so it was an honor and a privilege to tackle one of the FKT routes he’d submitted. I forewent Llao as currently required. Felt like this 6 summit time was sufficiently under Kedric’s current 7 summit time to make it worthy. 

Burned through 3L of fluid and still ran out before Watchman. Beautiful but warm day out there.
