Report
Took advantage of an unusual late season weather window. Based on reading trip reports it sounded like most of the Keyhole route would be dry. In the end, the Trough had a little snow and ice that was avoidable but required some navigation. I've struggled with steep, technical running postpartum so I knew I'd need a bit of margin over Flannery at the Summit. Sure enough, almost lost all that margin going down from Summit to Keyhole. Started overheating on the descent and finished in a sports bra. Fully unsupported, carried gels and 2 bottles- no refills. I was anticipating it getting cold/windy after the keyhole but ended up not needing rain jacket and hats and gloves I packed. Ascent: 2:10, descent: 1:19.
