Title IX

Is this Verpan?

Not all miles are created equal. Some go ➡️ others go ⬆️. But none of them are easy on this mountain and I consistently underestimate it. Frost trail up to the old CCC road which was as much of a welcome break as it is during winter tours (Teardrop’s not in, surprise surprise). Scared a big porcupine up into a tree, low quality picture unfortunately. Saw the only other people of the day on the Sunset Ridge climb, view is unfortunately wasted in this direction. Windy summit before dropping off the north side LT, always blows my mind that that section is in fact a very official trail given the exposure. Hot take that the Adam’s Apple may be the best facial feature. Felt like an idiot when I was surprised that Hell Brook is actually a brook, and also steep as shit. Can’t believe Joshua Coppola thought we should ski it 😂 Connector over to Taft does not see much use - gnarly off camber mud with a million blowdowns. Not the easy step over shit, the pick your way through the canopy big guys. Then a little Profanity up to the glorious finish, golden hour ridge running on the LT all the way back to Nebraska Notch. So unbelievably lucky to have this place and the ability to enjoy it, even if 4 hours is a pretty fuckin slow half marathon bub

Also a note for future me: beer selection at the Jericho Jolley is worth a stop.
