Was stormy last night near Westcliffe and I knew the route would be a bit dicey if the rock up high was wet. I banked on it drying out enough to still give these two great peaks a fast go. Lots of water throughout the day and a few sections were slow up high but made due with a decent effort.
I typically wouldn’t do these peaks on a summer Saturday, maybe the stormy weather kept people away but still had to navigate a few groups of people in some loose rocky sections.
Legs were feeling yesterday’s Belford’s fkt with Seth, still happy with the time and getting to spend some more time in the Sangres.
