A real ski mountaineering (skimo) race and the hardest thing i’ve done since 24 hours of Bolton Valley Feb 2017 and the Grand Traverse March 2017. I did no specific training which would’ve been good but winter was unnecessarily stressful, got sick twice and just tried to ski as much as my health and time allowed when work wasn’t calling.
Booting up the Headwall and dropping into the Lip were highlights. Another was the 100 mph gust that sent a chunk of ice into my temple….I rounded the corner of a summit building and heard a godawful sound like an airliner coming in for a crash landing then I got pelted with rime ice ripped from a tower. If I hadn’t turned my head to look at what was coming a larger chunk could’ve taken me out (got that dumb Trump luck this Patty’s Day Weekend, I guess)
