Huron

Drove out to Winfield on Sunday night when I caught word of some mountaineering buddies hosting a "party" atop Huron on the 4th.  I needed to get some climbing in, and what I remembered of Huron was that it is quite run-able.  Runnable?  Runable.  Whatever.

Winfield 4WD trailhead(10,500') to Huron Peak(14,003')
1:25 to the top.  Spent maybe 40% of the time running.  Not sure what it would be if I would've tried redlining it, but I was still a little spent from a good workout on Sunday.  There was plenty of celebration up top - three hours later, our group of twelve or so staggered foolishly back down the mountain.

If I could repeat weeks like this last one - 72 miles, 14k of climbing - I'd be strong.  Hoping this is a sign of good things ahead.  Time to get on the Peak.  Possible 3/2/1 this week!  Headed to Milwaukee for a a PR bid in the 13.1 on Sunday.

I kinda miss these guys.  A forgotten band.

  2. SW - no snow to speak of up Huron. I think there were maybe two small fields in the basin. No concern. We need to talk sometime about these peaks. I have a hunch you may have some big plans...and if you don't yet, you will soon...

    JV - email sent.
