Didn't know if I wanted to scout McLoughlin prior to going for the FKT, but I arrived to the trailhead and felt good, so I figured I would on-sight the route. I started a little after 8am and had absolutely GORGEOUS weather up to the summit. The first couple miles are pretty cruisy and runnable, and then it gets steep FAST! There were a few minute route-finding decisions that I would do differently next time and could shave off more time, but overall I am happy with the effort. I brought one 600mL bottle with calories in it up to the summit. Stayed up there a while soaking in the views and sunshine and chatting with an awesome couple. Then I casually hiked down as I am nursing a knee niggle :)
