Third time's a charm! Finally got it done after trying a variation of this route 8 years ago but bailing at Divide and trying again last year but quitting after the road section last year due to injury. Left from the reservoir parking lot at 3:50. Got a bit turned around in the schwack, but nothing too detrimental. Did some bonus vert on the way to Bole, I didn't feel comfortable committing to some of the moves along the ridge so I dropped down for a very short section. Filtered water at Fridley Lakes and again after Alex Lowe. Took the "Wyatt Express" route down from Blackmore (although express is a very generous way to describe my speed at that point). A beautiful day for a solo tour around Hyalite. Hope to see some more ladies take on this route!
