BRUTAL. 
Quick thoughts: 
Don’t know which is worse: going up dirty face ridge at the beginning of a big run or at the end 
So. Many. Backpackers. At silver lake. 
Guy down to his underwear sun bathing on Hawk Peak. 
Trying to not die on the ridge from hawk peak to buckhorn. Sketchy af. Very thankful for my (albeit limited) climbing experience. 
Never been so happy to see an orange peel on the ground. Meant I was close to established trails. 
Didn’t see a soul on Tubal Cain. 
I love flying down that trail. Best way to end a run. 
Calling it 20. Garmin says so
