PACK HIKE

Squaw Peak

supposed to meet Johnny Bravo at the base of the mountain @ 0-dark50
we missed each other, but we met at the top after my 1st ascent.

Hiked it down to the 1st bench and saddle, parted ways, and I headed back up for a 2nd lap.

Humidity was brutal on lap1... lap2 brought a slight breeze...
I only had 32oz of water, did fine, but needed cold gatorade afterward...
Some cellmass may have been a good alternate ticket post this hike as well.

The whole thing under two hours, I was done before 0700
I estimate start up 1st lap at 0515, not too bad, considering how long it has been since I hiked up here w/ a pack...

Don't know my pack weight... To keep myself in check, I am going to buy a bathroom scale today and will post the pack weight.

I need to start gradually increasig both the weight and the difficulty of these hikes.

My Hopes of summiting Rainier in late AUG have been dashed by a corporate group who filled all the reservations with the guide company I had chosen... You snooze, You Lose!

I have one more hope of getting some glacial extraction training this year.
(unless someone bails out of the good course I wanted)

This other course isn't rainier, but its cheaper and teaches the same fundamentals. (I dont know about the REP of the guides here though)

It usually doesn't matter, I can squeeze info from even a bad guide.

Summation of this morning:
aprox 1833 vert feet ascent, 1833 descent
1hr 45min
Pack weight = ?

It was cake though, I can push harder

RUN

Well, this wasn't much of a run...

I walked to the park because my joints feel so stiff,
then I started to jog out, thinking this would be a short day

I went about 1.25mi total

My joints were so sore didn't want to push it at all..

Really weird, it feels as if I cant bend my elbows and knees -

came back home, inverted 10-15min

Im wondering if I my massage Saturday flushed loose some stuff that collected in my joints??? Like I didn't hydrate enough afterward?

SWIM

Actually before I hit the pool, I soaked in the spa for a few...

My left knee has a weird stiffness in it where I can't bend it to the point of its normal range of flexibility...
Also, after work, I visually thought I noticed swelling to the point where it was larger than the right knee...

I tried to show this to LJfit this evening (post swim) but it seemed to have equalled out...



SWIM

2lengths kichboard
4lengths warmup
30lengths freestyle

I felt awesome when I left

Good to see someone else swimming

Are you swimming for any particular reason?

Ummm, just for more endurance if I go canyoneering, deep water soloing, or hopefully get onto a tall sail crew...

But the ultimate reason would be the hope of free diving in Honduras soon?!?

Other than that it is a form of cardio that doesn't hurt my joints -


Side note:
Coming out your way this Saturday!
I think we are climbing at Atlantis

PACK HIKE

Met LJfit at the trailhead
Hoofed to her trail (still unnamed)


one lap, no time LJfit went ahead of me as she was packless,
but didn't get far bck down her 2nd lap before running back into me

tells me I was moving OK, not super fast/strong, but OK

Saw a small rattlesnake on the way down...
He saw and let us know long before we saw him

Good mild training hike
Left knee still feeling stiff (worry)

10JL071700

CLIMBING, PRG

Met up w/JoeyG (finally), who is a lighter, stronger climber than I.
We were supposed to partner-up weeks ago, but both refused to change our schedules...
I took the hit today... It was well worth it

Good climbs, I'll see if I can recall the levels in order... I need to bring/start an actual journal again...

warmup
5.7
5.8
5.9 (overhung, failing climb last session)... Cleaned it after a short hang
5.7
5.8
5.10- (hung twice, then just figured it out somehow... uh-duh)
5.8 (palm holds, very confusing, flailed badly)
5.6 (leg run)
5.7 (same rope, leg run)
5.8 (arete based start... Cleaned!, last run with authority)

Arms still got pumped from the stupid palm route (I shall conquer)

GREAT WORKOUT!!! this will help me

12JL070345

HIKE/RUN

Telegraph Pass...

Met LJfit at the trailhead
Started the run up, but LJ was afraid of falling on loose stone... (Note this is 0345 in the morning)
So we hiked all the way up...
The plan was to run Kiwanas, but that is treacherous in the light

We ended hiking up National to the rock house and stopped there
to... ahhh... watch the sun come up..

Then we ran all the way down
which was a nice run and pace

3.5 miles total = easy cheesey
