A Celebration of Spanksgiving

With an Early Morning Ascent of Grandeur Peak’s West Trail.

 

 

Give Thanks for Knees made of Red Vines, Alarm Clocks, and dreams of Sasquatch in the Morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too early for maneuvering up steep trails.  The wind was master blasting.

Urban Blight at our feet.

Running for the border.  T-minus 4 hours till turkey.

 

 

A grand warm up for later events.

All involving eating grotesque amounts of food in a short period of time and then lying around.

We were well prepared.

Time up- ~1:10, down ~35-40
