Prince of the Ridge. . .

I got beat by some randonee racer guy with the lightest ski touring setup known to man who was taller and more tan then me, and by a girl named Jeannie Wall who is the 4 time womens national mountaineering champ. I led the first 3 laps and decided I didn't want to suffer that badly all day again and slowed down a little bit. I still won a $300 tranciever and another backpack, bringing my total number of backpacks to 13. I carried my GPS so I could laugh at the profile later on. Here's what my day looked like:




10,375' of accumulated vertical in 5 hours
