Saturday, July 26 - Mt. Waumbek (4006', 46)

Picked some low hanging fruit - Mt Waumbek (4006'). Started at 4:10.
63 minutes to Mt. Starr King (3907', 2.6 mi.), Waumbek summit (3.6 mi.) at 83 minutes. Rested a couple minutes, then headed back, passing starr king after 18 minutes and reaching the car in 58 for a total time on trail of 2:23, a total climb of about 2600' over 7.2 miles. I ran most of the way back - very good trail for running, both uphill and downhill. I don't often brag on running 15 minute miles, but it's still a lot faster than hiking pace and not much difference in effort.

How far do you think we made it up there yesterday, before I wimped out?
