9 different peaks (11.5 peaks summited)
Driving to the Denning parking lot I got lost & thought, “hopefully this isn’t foreshadowing for the rest of the day”.
I took this route in the clockwise direction.
The day started smooth. I felt really fast (yes fast as a feeling rather than a speed) going up to Slide in 1:05. Next, I filled up my water at the Slide spring and continued on to summit Cornell and Wittenberg (and then Cornell again). I missed the initial herd path entrance for the bushwhack, started to backtrack and then decided to cut in and pick up the herd path. This is my first mistake.
I got lost but eventually found my way up to Dink (not 3500ft counts as .5 mountain summit 🤪) then out to Friday continuing to get lost. The directional challenges cost me a significant amount of time and somewhere between 2 to 3 additional miles (original GPX file mapped this as an 18.3mi run). The herd path became easier to find closer to Table, and I started recognizing the trail since I completed some of these peaks last month. I was relieved to see the trail for Peekamoose and ran happily on trail the rest of the way.
Huge thank you to Ryan for teach teaching me Avenza and his help making a GPX for the run.
Each mile I dedicated to a friend or person who inspires me. If you felt a tingly sensation, that is why.
