Enjoyed the west ridge to north ridge linkup so much, I just had to come back for the triple crown! What a fun day! 1 hr 23 min to north peak, 2hrs 20 min to conness via the north ridge, 3hrs 27 min back up to conness via the west ridge, and 4hrs 34 min back to the start! These splits are from my moving time since apparently there was 27 min of breaks for snacks, water, talking to climbers, and enjoyment of the mountains spread throughout the adventure (time flies when you're having fun (: ). The fastest publicly available time I could find for this route prior to my run was 6hrs 25min by Kevin Heinrich (on mountain project).

Having done both routes, I personally prefer the west ridge to north ridge linkup since the conness ridges are a bit more engaging compared to north peak. That said, both of these are among the best routes out there and I can't wait to do them again!

Eliminating breaks and pushing the pace a tad more, this route could definitely go well under 4 hours.
