A bit icy still above the false summit for a stretch, but a great climb this morning.. especially since its been more than a week, and I was having withdrawals :-)

That's a smokin' time for a first crack at the Incline. You're going to fit right in.

LeAnne, Susie, Warren, Kyle, and Dave

26:17 from frist tie.  Beautiful morning up the Incline and then got hit with a 50 mph wind at the top!  Of course Susie was chatting the whole way which we were okay with because at least the rest of us had a chance of keeping up.  Thanks gang!

Comment by Michael Capshaw on September 27, 2011 at 7:24pm
Dan that's awesome. Hopefully I'll see up there sometime.
Comment by Jill Suarez on September 27, 2011 at 4:58pm
It's a time worthy healthy addiction ... Asked my dr if it was a " problem" said he wished he had more patients with this type of problem ... Keep plugging away on those ties ... I'm not stopping anytime soon..
