| Scramble:
RT 16.0 marathon (including Glasgow, Cornwall and Outlaw), 9.0 to the
top of
Banded. Very
easy, but by the time you get to the summit, you're pretty spent! The
feeling I
got at the end of the traverse was awesome. Wow, we traveled
all this way! Look at it! I really did not mind the fact we still had
13 km to go to get back to the campground, I rode the high of the
accomplishment all the way back. We ran out of water at the base of the
peak, Winston dug in the shale and made a puddle; smart. After a well
deserved break, we drank our last Redbull and continued our way down on
a very nice trail and quickly arrived at the creek. Amazingly
the
weather held for the whole trip. At the top I remember
saying "well, it can start raining now, we're on our way home". We
watched
thick, dark thunder clouds bordering us on the descent but we never
got wet! It was getting dark at the camp when we
arrived at
10:30 pm. We opened two cans of stew, ate and passed out. It looks like
Winston enjoyed this long hike, he found water, rolled in snow and ate
more kibbles than ever; he still had tail wag on the trail back. |
