First big shout out to my homie will for picking me up this morning from yerba TH and dropping me off at canyoncito TH. Also big shoutout to Sean Murphy too, I wouldn’t even of know about this route if it wasn’t for him letting me join him on the cirque last summer.
I left the trailhead at about 6:18 am and made it to wheeler in just under 5 hours. The ridge up until then is pretty slow moving (at least for me). Felt really good up until the junction at the top of columbine trail, once I made it there I basically walked to lobo peak. But once I made it to lobo I knew it was all downhill from there and cruised down. I carried 3.25 liters of water from the start and about 1200 calories (snickers, rx bar and some jerky). This could go way faster if it was supported. But also don’t think it’s a significant enough route to do it supported. But maybe one day lol
