Ascent Only - from The Crack trailhead to the Top of Silver Peak.
An early wake up, camping at Killarney Provincial Park, and a short drive to the Crack's trailhead/parking, I started this FKT attempt at exactly 5:30AM.
This is an iconic route in Ontario. It's a humbling experience every time you step onto the trail. The climbs are steep and plentiful but the views are next level!!
It was a hot day, and I was completely drenched in sweat before I knew it. Luckily I had no issues filtering water on trail. Solo and unsupported, I enjoyed the noises of the forest today. My legs were still a bit sore, since I did my last FKT (100km+ on Maintland Trail) only 12 days ago. All good! I wasn't passive up the opportunity to run in Killarney :)
Time to Silver Peak - 5hrs36min. Arrived at 11:06AM.
It was an ~33 min climb on the Silver Peak Trail.
That's the end of this Ascend FKT, but I did go for the out & back as well :)
