Got a later start than I intended which made for it being a bit warmer. Since I was onsighting this route I didn't know what to expect. Felt strong on the first 1.5 miles of runnable terrain before hitting the talus field. I then slowed down a bit to navigate. After making it through, the rest of the route to the summit is fairly runnable. Spent maybe 5-10 seconds on the summit for a picture and to check my time, 55:39. I was a little over 5 mins off the ascent record due to poorly navigating the talus field but knew I could make up for it on the downhill. Cruised the downhill in 31:13 for a total time of 1:26:54. Really fun morning out there!
