FKT: Erin Ton - Mt Yale (CO) - 2024-08-20

After seeing Joe Gray set the men's FKT on Yale East Ridge, I was inspired to put down a women's time. My first few miles up to the ridge were solid, but it was a very hot afternoon and my effort slowed significantly on the ridge. It is not technical at all, but requires some route-finding. The Strava segment has me at 1:50, but I took a picture of my watch at the summit at 1:49 (when you crop the activity I reached the summit at 1:49:32). I think because I sat at the summit for a few minutes before heading down the segment did not register on Strava until after the fact. I think I could shave some minutes off in cooler temps!
