I am planning on climbing Mt McLoughlin tomorrow morning. There is no posted female unsupported time on this site; however, there is a strava segment where the fastest female time is 1:39. My goal is sub-2 hours. I do not know if previous athletes on strava ran solo, had support etc. so I am tossing my name out here!
That ain't no "shield volcano" dude, hence why it is steep...
Turns out you are both right.
"McLoughlin is a stratovolcano, made up of basaltic andesite on top of underlying basaltic andesitic shield volcanoes."

I am going to take a shot at the Mcloughlin summit record tomorrow, Sunday Aug 16th. The record has been lowered though. Max King ran it yesterday, Strava shows 1:00:18 for the segment, not sure what his actual time was, but I'll ask him before I go to do it so I don't have any surprises. I'd say my odds of beating his time a pretty low, but you never know until you try.
ended up doing it on Monday. new baby at home right now, not sleeping the best, so I thought why not push it back a day. Felt fine here today, just not very fast. Though really it's not like it was that slow either. 1:07:29 on the strava segment, 1:07:53 on the full climb. Not that close, but I do think that it's at least possible for me to get this down to 1 hour, though not super likely.
