Such a tough day. The first three miles was a good warm up on easy terrain. However summiting Mt Baden Powell entailed 3000′ of climb in 3 miles, and to make it more difficult the top half of the climb was snow. The path pretty much disappeared and I just headed for the top as best I could.

I was rewarded with a great view and also my highest mountain climbed – 9406′.

I believe I am part of the first English Man-Sheep team to summit the mountain:

Going down to Little Jimmy Campground was a slow affair, lots of snow, very little actual path and to exacerbate the situation the snow was getting soft in the afternoon sun.

So in all I did 13 miles but it took me over 10 hours in all!
