Mt. Wire FKT(?) + other fall photos

Summit of Wire earlier this year
Work and life have been busy over the past few weeks.  Luckily, I've had a enough free time to be able to get out a bit.  One of my favorite training runs is Mt. Wire.  It's close to town, not too long, and, despite the horrible air this summer, typically gives a good view. 

In preparation for the glorious winter skiing that's just around the corner I've been trying "go hard" at least once a week.  Last Thursday time trialling Mt. Wire seemed like a good idea.  I heard rumors that the FKT was 29 mins and change.  With that goal in mind I gave it a go.  There's not much to say except I went 27:44 and found myself on top vomiting the 2 Gyros I ate for lunch.  Go hard? Mission accomplished.

Space Shot video

Here's a short video of our recent trip to Zion. While we were hot, sweaty, and pretty miserable hanging in our harnesses, it was actually fun and the video depicts that reasonably well. Zion climbing in the summer...highly recommended!
