Yesterday morning. Hop out of bed at 3:30am, get your shit together, eat your oatmeal, start hiking at 4:30am, on top, sitting pretty, when the sun rises.
So energizing when the sun hits. We had an unexpected wind hit us on the ridgeline, so the sun was a very welcome guest!
Bathe in it.
Lighting up Superior nicely. And Red Baldy in the background.
I like it.
Back to hiking. We had a nice moon shining on us before the sun came up.
Oh yeah, up top. We had a thick posse of all-time shredders in our group.
It was Sage, Adam Clark, Dave McReynolds, Jason Prigge, and myself.
Bout to drop……
The feeling you carry with you the rest of your day after tackling a mountain like this is amazing. You get down from the mountain before 8:30 am, when everyone else is just showing up to ski Alta/Snowbird. I’ve had plenty of days skiing the resort, lap after lap, loving it, but hiking up, one step at a time in the dark, and just being up there with just you and your buddies, looking down in all directions from the top of the world….. total radness.
Very nice! I spotted your lines just after you had laid them. Very Impressive! I hope to conquer that beast one day.
dude that is epic. i love that shit..so rad. way to get after it and sunrises are always all time. stoked!
